Bloomberg reported China’s People’s Liberation Army had infiltrated supply chain of Supermicro, installing a chip capable of stealing data on servers used for compressing video.

Supermicro says it is undertaking “a complicated and time-consuming review” of its customers. The stakes are enormous: If top companies have been subjected to secret surveillance by China for years, it could cast doubt on the safety and security of data.”]
