This article talks about something elsewhere entirely than the original one, and unrelated to the BMC.

Yes I read it. seems they added another device to the network/ethernet interface which they detected sending network packets.

Curious how this one affected the server or did compare to the original article.

This one seems more benign considering it won't be able to mess around like the BMC has access to things like secure boot and other system busses like the PCI.
