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?
On a Mac since 1984.
Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.
