FWIW, of the claims made in the article, there are two relatively independently true facts one can find.
One is the cited testimony of someone regarding a (large?) batch of Lenovo laptops found to be phoning home in secret, from public court testimony.
The other is the incident with Intel reporting that a modified update package was downloaded from Supermicro's update site and infected a system, causing it to phone home, and both Intel and Supermicro admitted (assuming you believe the journalists aren't making things up out of whole cloth) that something happened resulting in Intel contacting Supermicro to report the incident.
