Debunked. That guy in the video is a parrot of fake news, not a knowledgeable techie. The chip that is always shown in these fake news articles is a coupler. Not a super-duper do-everything spy chip. I’m surprised you are so easily fooled. Also, no infiltration of Apple. Apple cancels any build-order that doesn’t meet their standards and testing, and Apple did indeed cancel an order of server motherboards after testing a sample, before any were deployed.
I’ve actually read this from several fairly good sources.
And this rings true:
“Three security experts who have analyzed foreign hardware implants for the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that the way Sepio’s software detected the implant is sound. One of the few ways to identify suspicious hardware is by looking at the lowest levels of network traffic. Those include not only normal network transmissions, but also analog signals — such as power consumption — that can indicate the presence of a covert piece of hardware.
In the case of the telecommunications company, Sepio’s technology detected that the tampered Supermicro server actually appeared on the network as two devices in one. The legitimate server was communicating one way, and the implant another, but all the traffic appeared to be coming from the same trusted server, which allowed it to pass through security filters.
Appleboum said one key sign of the implant is that the manipulated Ethernet connector has metal sides instead of the usual plastic ones. The metal is necessary to diffuse heat from the chip hidden inside, which acts like a mini computer. “The module looks really innocent, high quality and ‘original’ but it was added as part of a supply chain attack,” he said.”
