[AusNOG] supermicro stocks dive

Fri Oct 5 13:29:21 EST 2018

Hi All,

Did anyone else read SuperMicro’s response as not a denial but an invitation or Governments to get in and share information in the interests of Cyber Security? I’m just making sure I am not alone in what I read into their response. 

Kind Regards,

Jim.

Posted on Bloomberg October 4, 2018 ergo, not fake news. The meta story here is that Apple and Amazon are officially denying it.

Three senior insiders at Apple say that in the summer of 2015, it, too, found malicious chips on Supermicro motherboards. Apple severed ties with Supermicro the following year, for what it described as unrelated reasons.

Not sure how posting a link to the purported fake news article is proof said article is not fake?
