Apple sa upp avtal med leverantör efter infekterad firmware
Apple har sagt upp alla avtal med leverantören Supermicro sedan infekterad servermjukvara hittats i Supermicros datacenter.
Mjukvaran, firmware, som används för att styra och hantera grundläggande funktioner i en server, visade sig vara infekterad med malware. I datacentret fanns servrar som användes för funktioner i Siri och andra delar av Apples tjänster.
An Apple spokesperson denied there was a security incident. However, Supermicro’s senior vice-president of technology, Tau Leng, told The Information that Apple had ended its relationship with Supermicro because of the compromised systems in the App Store development environment. Leng also confirmed Apple returned equipment that it had recently purchased. An anonymous source was cited as the source of the information regarding infected Siri servers.
Apple has used a variety of other companies’ server hardwaresince the company got out of the server business itself and never used its own in datacentersincluding servers from HP and storage from NetApp. A few years ago, Apple added Supermicro as a supplier for some of its development and data center computing infrastructure.
