Bloomberg didn't say possible, though. They said it had happened, and been discovered. Specifically, they said "A major U.S. telecommunications company discovered manipulated hardware from Super Micro Computer Inc. in its network". And then that manipulated hardware was never produced and verified, Bloomberg provided no evidence for the claim, every outside investigation disagreed with it, and their primary source criticized the story (in favor of an even broader, equally unproven assertion). It's an interesting theoretical attack, but Bloomberg made specific, concrete assertions which are, according to all available evidence, bogus. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-09/new-evidence-of-hacked-supermicro-hardware-found-in-u-s-telecom https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-09/new-evide...
