There was no attempt at that time to refute the stories by Apple and others at that time. Only when it reached critical mass, (Bloomberg, ran a huge piece on it, did they react).
If they had reacted to a few blogs post/Tech articles in 2017 they would have had the Streisand Effect on the matter.
Supermico announced in early 2017 that it lost TWO large data-center customers in 2016 over security issues. Apple being one, Amazon probably being the other. Their stock took a huge hit in early 2017 when their CFO made this announcement on an earnings call.
This Supermicro server/security story was reported in 2017, although focused on Apple (said others were impacted, no specific mention of Amazon), since it was not highly profiled by Bloomberg Business News, it was not widely noticed.
I had SMCI stock in 2017 and sold it after reports that Apple dropped them when they found serious security issues with their servers. Now Apple and others claim they have no idea what Bloomberg is talking about. Clearly something was installed on Supermicro servers to cause Apple and others to stop using them.
I had shares of SMCI back in 2017 and sold them not long over these reports came out, that Apple dropped a large contract with Supermico over security concerns.
The mystery is not solved. The explanation does not add up. You do not shut down a facility looking for a computer. Much less have blackhawk helicopters involved.
The CP allegation is way to convenient and is something would be easily contrived to quiet any public concern.
The hysteria over CP (most of which is self made teen porn, btw) has reached the point where shutting down buildings as a precaution seems reasonable.
First, Google is so liberal biased it doesn't even defend that position. It censors you-tube and de-platforms any one with a political ideology its C suite has an issue with (Conservative).
Trump has ever right to go after Google, Facebook and any other media company that that proports to be unbiased, while being just the opposite, especially the most powerful media company in the world right now.
You see feminist are not about equality, they have had that, this is about selfishness, money and power for their themselves, their sex. This is pure evil. It will cause divisiveness and continued fracturing of society. The politicians should be eliminated.
I swear that game uses way to much GPU for the graphics it renders. Also sitting in the lobby, with no graphics rendering, it uses 100% GPU load. I think that game could easily be crypto mining.
Bingo,
I friend of mine, was let go recently, along with several hundred others, at a large home improvement chain that starts with an L. Almost all were white men middle aged men. Meanwhile, in the previous 36 months, he and his colleagues noticed a large number of hires of females and non-whites.
It was plain as day, they was a directive to get rid of white men in the Corporate structure to be replaced by females and others.
My guess is Erika, is well with in the protected "class" at IBM, 30's, female & most likely non-white. She has the liberty to say whatever she pleases against other groups.
I hope these discrimination lawsuits against older (primarily white men) are catastrophic to these Corporations, otherwise nothing will change.
This should be a wake up call to all white males. Do NOT go to work for Corporate America. You are considered the most expendable employee, especially the older/more experienced you are.

Their claims that they knew nothing of this security issue from Supermicro has all the appererances of a PR cover up
Seems he is misinformed or SemiAccurate is off base

Slightly off topic, but what about a 3" hailstone into the turbofan blade? would it survive?
What defines a journalistic entity? I would classify the Washington Post and New York Times as a Political Action Organization
It is a complete liberal progressive, algorithmic , echo chamber that should be TLD to 127.0.0.1 It is harmful to the internet.

For Apple too say there were not aware of security issues with Supermico is BS.
Getting sick of hearing this repeated. ~1% of the Earth is comprised of Carbon its a natural element.
Considering the authors, the funding source and even that they get funding to study gender issues, smells of a biased result.

How can anyone admire companies like Google, that censor and de-platform people with opposing ideologies of the upper management of that company?

Glad they took slogan that out of their corporate vision statement. Google is corporate POS.

In the post Obama era and the brainwashing of the millennial generation, your skin color and your sex is more important than job performance.

Put me on that jury. He will own IBM
Only the ones women play. I want to be on the right side of history.
This is spot on. They want voters, couldn't care less about the ability of these people to earn a living.
If they even are slightly honest with the feedback they get from the users.
