The long hack: how China exploited a US tech supplier

Remember that story from two years ago, about how China had supposedly infiltrated the supply chain of Supermicro? The story was denied by American intelligence agencies and the CEOs of Apple and Amazon, but today, Bloomberg posted a follow-up piece with more sources, both anonymous and named, that the story was, in fact, real, and probably a lot bigger, too.

The article lists several attacks that have taken place, all using hardware from Supermicro.

Each of these distinct attacks had two things in common: China and Super Micro Computer Inc., a computer hardware maker in San Jose, California. They shared one other trait; U.S. spymasters discovered the manipulations but kept them largely secret as tthey tried to counter each one and learn more about China's capabilities.

Bloomberg is clearly sticking by and expanding its story, so this means it's their and their sources' word against that of giant corporations and American intelligence agencies, and we all know giant corporations and American intelligence agencies never lie.

Right?
