FWIW, the claim in the Bloomberg article was never validated, no one pulled a Supermicro server that had the supposed components. Zero proof since the story was published in 2018 that it wasn't nonsense.

Including Amazon, Meta or whomever else was mentioned in that article, all saying "What? That never happened". There's little reason to cover up the discovery of something like this, from an end-user perspective.

Yeah, it was a pretty bizarre story, given it's the kind of thing that definitely happens (though probably through more straightforward just tampering with the firmware), that it was very specific and yet all the details failed to add up.
