I think this is going to get more interesting before the story dies and goes away. Eventually the telecom or whoever broke this story to bloomberg is going to come out. I’m not sure who’s telling the truth either, if our major vendors like Apple and Amazon are denying this or being forced to deny it or if it really is happening. I think we’ll find out eventually. It’s hard to keep things like this a secret especially if it hits the media in a big way like this.
They go into detail about their new server process and seems to clarify where Bloomberg is getting this false info.
“We are deeply disappointed that in their dealings with us, Bloomberg’s reporters have not been open to the possibility that they or their sources might be wrong or misinformed. Our best guess is that they are confusing their story with a previously-reported 2016 incident in which we discovered an infected driver on a single Super Micro server in one of our labs. That one-time event was determined to be accidental and not a targeted attack against Apple.”

I found a pretty cool response on Apples site:
