The Department of Homeland Security has no reason to doubt the compromise of Apple's supply chain

In a statement released Saturday night, the US Department of Homeland Security said that it had "no reason to doubt" companies that had denied this week's Bloomberg Businessweek report on falsification by the China servers manufactured by Supermicro.

"The Department of Homeland Security is aware of the media reports of a compromise on the technology supply chain. Like our UK partners, the National Cyber ​​Security Center, we have no reason at this time to doubt the statements of the companies cited in the article. Information and communication technology supply chain security is at the heart of DHS's cybersecurity mission and we are committed to the security and integrity of the technology on which we rely. more and more Americans and other countries around the world. This month, National Cyber ​​Security Awareness Month, we have launched several initiatives to develop short- and long-term solutions to manage the risks posed by the complex challenges posed by digital security channels. supply more and more global. These initiatives will build on existing partnerships with a broad range of technology companies to strengthen our country's collective cybersecurity and risk management efforts. "

Apple, Amazon and Supermicro have strongly refuted the report that Chinese intelligence services have installed microchips in Supermicro servers, which Apple and Amazon previously used in their data centers.

Apple and Bloomberg Businessweek are in a stalemate, Apple firmly refuting the report and Bloomberg holding onto his information.

Apple's denial has been supported by the Department of Homeland Security, the UK's national cybersecurity agency, by Bruce Sewell, retired general counsel for Apple, and other senior executives of the company.
