Perhaps YOU should. Not a single Apple product is accused by Bloomberg to have been compromised. In fact, Bloomberg states categorically that both Amazon and Apple DISCOVERED the spurious chip on a third-party motherboard on a server from another third-party SERVER manufacturer both were thinking about using for their respective cloud services. . . not for their products. Try reading for comprehension.
However, both Apple and Amazon deny anything such as what Bloomberg claims ever happened. . . and no other cloud service using the same hardware has found even a single instance of a compromised motherboard among the millions that are currently in use. Not a single one. . . and believe me, they are looking to find one. Ergo, bkopto, it is FAKE NEWS intended to support the business that Bloomberg was and is currently pushing, Sepio Systems, which just coincidentally, or probably not coincidentally, is selling a software package to identify and alert network users of exactly such surreptitiously placed extra hardware. The SOLE source for their articles is the co-CEO of Sepio Systems, Yossi Appleboum.
Other experts the Bloomberg writers cited are coming out to state they were mis-quoted or actually mis-represented by being quoted completely out of context or leaving out them telling the reporters that the reporters' theory makes no sense at all.
Incidentally, that photo you linked is not the chip in question but a generic coupler chip. There are NO PHOTOS of the surreptitious chip in situ on the "compromised" motherboard. None. Zip. Zero. If they can't photograph one, it doesn't exist.
I was responding initially to the claim in post 25 that:
“The microprocessor and chipset are designed in the USA.
Highly unlikely it could happen.”
This claim is incorrect as the Bloomberg article said the hack involved a small, separate chip. I was telling the poster in #25 to read the article.
However, I in no way implied that the Bloomberg article was correct. You have misinterpreted what I said.
That is all.
