So it seems to me that it is possible the original Bloomberg article may not be true, or at least has gotten details considerably wrong.
In any event, I have a couple questions.
1. Is it possible that some kind of small chip could subvert there boot process of the BMC?
2. Can the BMC subvert the host system in some useful way that would be hard to detect? I'm thinking about altered microcode loaded at CPU powerup.
3. Can the altered microcode be used to subvert the host complex remotely? This could be something like a Spectre or Rowhammer attack.
