"After Bloomberg reported on the added-chip threat in October 2018, officials for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the NSA made public statements either discounting the report’s validity or saying they had no knowledge of the attack as described. The NSA said at the time it was “befuddled” by Bloomberg’s report and was unable to corroborate it; the agency said last month that it stands by those comments."
I remember this distinctly. I was tasked with ensuring that none of my company's comm product suppliers used the suspect Supermicro components.
More proof that much government "science" is bullshit, because you simply can't trust the government to get the science right.
