Well what bunnie says in that talk is that something may well have happened but it doesn’t pass Occam’s razor as presented in the Bloomberg article.
Specifically he says that adding an IC to the board doesn’t make sense. And that embedding something in an existing package/device is possible.
This is very different to what is described in the article being discussed here, and much more complex.
The Bloomberg article seems largely inaccurate in any case. I don’t think it’s worth using as a motivation for any security work.

Or something like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_eSAF_qT_FY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_eSAF_qT_FY But a nearly magic rice-grain part with a microcontroller and networking?? You could make a fortune in IOT with something that capable.
