      Is SuperMicro still in the secondary server picks?

      https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/02/apple-axed-supermicro-servers-from-datacenters-because-of-bad-firmware-update/#p3

      Although looks like Apple engineers made a mistake and the malicious malware was something internal.

        So the next time you're frustrated by the arcane processes of your health provider, remember—they're in place for everyone's protection.

        What things would that be? oh you mean the things that cause my data to be at risk? lol

          "Leng told The Information that Apple was the only company to report the firmware issue, and he said the servers are used by thousands of customers. He asserted that when his company asked Apple's engineers to provide information about the firmware, they gave an incorrect version number—and then refused to give further information."

          God. Passing the buck really does occur everywhere. I hate it.

            They're really one of the top picks today.

                We can't be sure, but like @coliver said, it does sound like Apple.

                    Looking at some other news sources it seems like people are blaming SuperMicro... We have incomplete information obviously but from what I can tell this was Apple through and through. Another time that Apple can do no wrong.

                                            This reminds me a lot of the case with Monsanto, where they have a patient on a seed variety, and sue farmers who try to keep seeds for planting later from the crops they grew.
