Super Micro says no evidence of spy chips found in its hardware

From CNET: Super Micro on Tuesday said an investigations firm found "absolutely no evidence" of malicious hardware on its motherboards.

In a letter sent to customers, the California hardware maker said a third-party investigations firm tested its current and older-model motherboards for evidence malicious chips or other hardware had been inserted into its products. Super Micro said it wasn't surprised by the results.

The investigation follows an October report from Bloomberg Businessweek that alleged Chinese surveillance chips had been inserted in Super Micro hardware in order to spy on its clients, including Apple and Amazon Web Services.

Apple and Amazon have denied the allegations made in Bloomberg's report.
