Yes. The specific scenario GP described is about SuperMicro and Amazon if my memory is correct on the parties involved.

Edit: it was for sure SuperMicro and Amazon.

That story was widely debunked in followup stories. No one ever demonstrated any of the claims in that story.

I didn’t say it wasn’t debunked, I said that it is what GP was talking about. I didn’t think the “debunked” part was relevant to the question asked that I was responding to. I guess you think it is, so my apologies.

The question asked if it ever happened. That your story didn’t actually happen is most certainly relevant.
