- kccqzy 6y agoWhen Bloomberg implicated Apple in The Big Hack, Apple gave way stronger denials. So did Amazon. > Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server. Apple never had any contact with the FBI or any other agency about such an incident. We are not aware of any investigation by the FBI, nor are our contacts in law enforcement.
- justapassenger 6y agoExactly - Apple never said "we weren't hacked, 100% sure". They said, that all the data they have shows no evidence, plus pointed out some BS in the story.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoInteresting that they only mention server. What about their employee devices, networking hardware, and every other internet connected thing? Not saying I buy this theory, but that denial leaves a lot of technically correct room to lie through their teeth.
- caminocorner 6y agoThats because the entirety of Bloomberg's nonsense focused on a supposed server. So there wasn't any need to disown employee devices, mobile phones, iot, etc
- dragonwriter 6y ago> That’s the strongest truthful statement any company can give you. Oh, I agree that no company will ever make a categorical denial of something like this; I just don't think that justifies promoting a lesser denial into a categorical one.
