None of the claims in Bloomberg's recent series on Super Micro have been confirmed and many doubts have been raised about the quality of the reporting[3], including by Bloomberg's own sources[2][3]. The affected parties have all issued strong denials, including to Congress[4], and figures from US intelligence agencies, where Bloomberg's anonymous sources allegedly worked, have cast doubt on the story as well[5]. That said, supply chain attacks have always been an issue and it's entirely possible that Super Micro has been a victim at some point. However, this will also be true of virtually any other supplier.
