Clarifying ProtonMail and Huawei
Looks like Bloomberg is doing the same as with the "implant" rumors and Supermicro a few months ago.<p>Gruber has a very nice disclaimer at the bottom of posts mentioning Bloomberg now:<p>"Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” last October — a sensational story alleging that data centers of Apple, Amazon, and dozens of other companies were compromised by China’s intelligence services. The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed by a single other publication (despite much effort to do so), and has been largely discredited by one of Bloomberg’s own sources. By all appearances “The Big Hack” was complete bullshit. Yet Bloomberg has issued no correction or retraction, and seemingly hopes we’ll all just forget about it. I say we do not just forget about it. Bloomberg’s institutional credibility is severely damaged, and everything they publish should be treated with skepticism until they retract the story or provide evidence that it was true."<p><a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/09/05/gurman-touch-id" rel="nofollow">https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/09/05/gurman-touch-id</a>
