What do you want to bet that this was made possible by the CCP hardware backdoors that SuperMicro has been bugging their motherboards with?

I think it's easier to explain breaches with 0-day exploits than backdoors.

Put any hardware in front of the best hacking teams, in their lab, and they WILL find a way in.

Look at how many allegations are swirling around that company. They're accused of violating sanctions on GPUs to Russia and China too. Seems like a pattern IMO.
