Why do you so blindly believe amzn/aapl over bloomberg? You do realize that reputation is a huge part of success, particularly in the security and hardware space. Of course amazon and apple will deny this story. For starters, they are probably under a gag order from the government to not leak anything regarding their findings since the investigation is still ongoing. Secondly, it is of no benefit to admit they failed in oversite on their side with this one.
