如何看待彭博社发文声称中国给美科技企业植入“恶意芯片”,苹果和亚马逊马上辟谣这件事? 第1页

这件事有几点值得玩味之处。

立场中立偏左的彭博社旗下商业周刊率先专题报道此事,而不是偏右的媒体领头。

在苹果今天发布的声明中,有一部分内容显得意味深长:

Over the course of the past year, Bloomberg has contacted us multiple times with claims, sometimes vague and sometimes elaborate, of an alleged security incident at Apple.

(过去一年,彭博社数次联系我们,声称苹果遭遇安全事件。其描述有时模糊不清,有时则描述详尽)

苹果的措辞也极为详尽和强硬,而不是常见的模糊圆滑的回复方式:

On this we can be very clear: Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server. Apple never had any contact with the FBI or any other agency about such an incident. We are not aware of any investigation by the FBI, nor are our contacts in law enforcement.

We are deeply disappointed that in their dealings with us, Bloomberg’s reporters have not been open to the possibility that they or their sources might be wrong or misinformed. Our best guess is that they are confusing their story with a previously-reported 2016 incident in which we discovered an infected driver on a single Super Micro server in one of our labs. That one-time event was determined to be accidental and not a targeted attack against Apple.

The published Businessweek story also claims that Apple “reported the incident to the FBI but kept details about what it had detected tightly held, even internally.” In November 2017, after we had first been presented with this allegation, we provided the following information to Bloomberg as part of a lengthy and detailed, on-the-record response. It first addresses their reporters’ unsubstantiated claims about a supposed internal investigation:

Despite numerous discussions across multiple teams and organizations, no one at Apple has ever heard of this investigation. Businessweek has refused to provide us with any information to track down the supposed proceedings or findings. Nor have they demonstrated any understanding of the standard procedures which were supposedly circumvented.

No one from Apple ever reached out to the FBI about anything like this, and we have never heard from the FBI about an investigation of this kind — much less tried to restrict it.

In an appearance this morning on Bloomberg Television, reporter Jordan Robertson made further claims about the supposed discovery of malicious chips, saying, “In Apple’s case, our understanding is it was a random spot check of some problematic servers that led to this detection.”

As we have previously informed Bloomberg, this is completely untrue. Apple has never found malicious chips in our servers.Finally, in response to questions we have received from other news organizations since Businessweek published its story, we are not under any kind of gag order or other confidentiality obligations.

而彭博社的这一报道据信可能来自于两年多以前美国军方在 Mclean(CIA 总部所在地)举行的一次网络安全会议,彭博社获得了相关信息并与部分与会者持续保持联系,并进行了两年多的跟踪调查。

也就是说苹果和彭博社之间肯定有撒谎的一方。

在技术层面上,让一颗铅笔芯尖端大小的芯片介入 BMC 通信,并躲避苹果和亚马逊这一级别的企业的安全监控和更新,难度自然很大,但若想实现并非不可能。
