Two possibilities as to why.
First is the Kavanaugh issue had run its course and this will and did throw the stock market into a tizzy fit.
Second is that Bloomberg is always pushing some stock with Fake News. This one is a company called Sepio Systems that sells software to mitigate against just this kind of exploit. . . and their co-CEO is Yossi Appleboum, who Bloomberg outed as an advisor in a second article where he claimed to have found another exploit on ONE Supermicro motherboard out of THOUSANDS he scanned for a "major telecom company" which he cannot name due to a non-disclosure agreement. . . but he proceeded to tell Bloomberg everything else about his contract with them, why he was called in, what he found, the motherboard maker, etc., etc., etc., That is a pretty weak NDA if the ONLY thing he can't disclose is the name of the company. Yet other major NAMED telecoms which use Supermicro motherboards claim they have found NOTHING. zip, nada, nil, amiss in their servers. . . and Yossi, even where he found it, found only ONE out of thousands. WHAT?! One? . . . and that's a serious Chinese EXPLOIT? Give me a break. He says it was a component added to the motherboard's Ethernet Connector. . . made out of metal instead of plastic which sent out a special analog signal instead of a digital signal that his scanning software can find. . . which Bloomberg is touting. . .
Meanwhile Supermicro's stock value dropped to penny stock level and it got delisted from the NASDAQ. . . and Apple's and Amazon supply chains, who had NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THIS, lost over $40 billion in valuation. . . because idiotic people who cannot read for comprehension though it was Apple and Amazon products that were involved when it was not!
Who made money shorting those stocks?
FAKE NEWS!
My theory (in case it’s not already been proposed) is that this is an effort to get out in front of some other issue.
Maybe this is going to be the excuse for why Hitlery’s private server was messaging the Chinese. Not her fault, it was the spy chip. Or some similar nonsense.
(BTW, it was her fault regardless of whether there was a spy chip in the server or not.)
Let me try one guess.....
Um, Soros?!
Thanks for your amazing work on this issue. You really were out front of everyone about what was really going on.

Analog signal on a digital Ethernet connection ???
Odd.
I didn’t think that was possible, with jus one part.
