So is anyone else following the Supermicro drama regarding hacked network drivers and spy chips being inserted on the production lines?

I haven't been following the story although I did see a TV news piece about it. Frankly, it's not a surprising action in a country that does this kind of stuff.

Do you believe Apple's denial that any of their products were hacked?
