A report from Bloomberg Businessweek earlier this month said Chinese spy chips were allegedly used to gather intellectual property and trade secrets from the iPhone maker and Amazon Web Services, an Amazon subsidiary that provides cloud computing services. The chips were found in servers assembled by a Chinese company called Super Micro, according to the report, and could have been subject to a secret US government investigation that began in 2015.

Apple immediately denied the report and even told Congress that it was never hacked.
