I think it's possible Bloomberg's "tiny chip" was a BMC, and that BMC was found with a backdoor in it, but the backdoor may not have necessarily come "from factory," but was later added by someone else. Either way, this looks terrible for SuperMicro: "Yeah, our servers don't come with built-in backdoors - it's just SuperEasy™ for attackers to add one once shipped -- please buy more now."
