What? The allegations are against super micro boards produced in China.

Super Micro builds custom designed boards for other businesses given the right quantities. It's a huge part of their business; I wouldn't be surprised if it's bigger than their white box boards.

One of the allegations was that special purpose video encoder boards from a hardware startup that Amazon acquired (Elemental) were targeted. These aren't off the shelf boards that anyone can buy.
