The story may be simpler than initially thought.

“Whereas the Bloomberg story singles out Supermicro servers, Mr. Appleboum’s sentiment is that this is an industrywide issue”

Review the site at: https://www.sepio.systems/solution/

What type of companies stand to gain from the piece?

Apparently Bloomberg’s bonus plan for its journalists includes provisions for rewarding stories that “move the market”. One could argue that this sounds like potentially a perverse incentive that could reward questionably sourced stories such as this for the journalists themselves, rather than a specific company gaining.

It’s hardly a stretch to imagine a story like this materially affecting the accused companies’ stock prices, which presumably could qualify as a market moving story.

You can really tell when somebody gets 100% of their news from HN... They don’t do that anymore, partially due to that 5 year old article (which was reposted on HN yesterday?...)

As far as I can tell there is no evidence that the practice has stopped
