Earlier today, Apple issued an incredibly strong denial in response to a report from Bloomberg, which alleged that Apple and a handful of other tech companies had some data compromised due to Chinese surveillance chips being found in a Super Micro server. The report noted that these chips were found on Apple’s servers sometime around 2015.

Following its earlier statement on the report, Apple has now published a press release on its website detailing what actually happened as it continues to deny the allegations.

First and foremost, Apple states that it contacted Bloomberg and provided a statement well before they ever published the story. The statement read:

Apple again states that it had never found malicious chips, hardware manipulations, or vulnerabilities on any of its server. The company never got in touch with the FBI or any other agency regarding any such incidents, nor was not aware of any ongoing investigations by the FBI or other law enforcement as Bloomberg suggests.

Echoing its statement from this morning, Apple says that Siri and Topsy never shared server, nor has Siri ever been deployed on servers handled by Super Micro. It says Topsy data was limited to roughly 2,000 Super Micro servers, and none of them were infiltrated by malicious chips.

Apple goes on to say that it inspects servers for security vulnerabilities before putting them into production. Apple makes sure all firmware and software is up to date and has the latest security updates before using any servers.

The Bloomberg story claimed that Apple reached out to the FBI but asked to keep the information private, even internally. When Apple was made aware of this allegation, it responded by saying that no one at the company ever heard of such an investigation. Bloomberg refused to provide Apple with any information to how it made such claims or who might be of knowledge of the investigation.

Apple also confirms that it is not under “any kind of gag order or other confidentiality obligations” that would prohibit it from telling the truth or leaving details out.

Super Micro also provided a statement that said it wasn’t aware of any ongoing any investigations:
