On
October 4th, Bloomberg published an article detailing how Chinese
spies placed microchips on motherboards produced for Super Micro Computer Inc.,
one of the biggest supplies of motherboards in the world. Supermicro products are used by large tech
companies such as Amazon and Apple. These microchips allow the servers they have been inserted into to be accessed remotely by those that put them there, and gather all the information they want. According to the article, "one government official says China’s goal was
long-term access to high-value corporate secrets and sensitive government
networks. No consumer data is known to have been stolen.” A link to the full article is provided
below.
