彭博社引用了来自情报机构和商界的17个身份不明的消息来源，支持中国间谍在大约30家公司和多个美国政府机构使用的设备中放置计算机芯片的说法，这将使北京秘密进入内部网络。
中国外交部没有回复记者的书面置评请求。北京此前否认策划了针对西方公司的网络攻击。
苹果在一份声明中表示，报道中称苹果在2015年在其服务器中发现恶意芯片的说法是“无真相”。“这是不真实的，”亚马逊在一篇博客文章中说。
彭博为自己的报道进行了辩护。
彭博社在一份声明中说:“包括政府官员和公司内部人士在内的17个消息来源证实了硬件和其他攻击元素的操纵。”“我们坚持自己的说法，对自己的报道和消息来源有信心。”
报告称，中国人民解放军的一支部队渗透到计算机硬件制造商超微计算机公司的供应链，植入恶意芯片，用于窃取企业和政府机密。
超微电脑的股价在粉盘交易中下跌38%至13.26美元。
据彭博社报道，亚马逊在2015年检查一家名为Elemental Technologies的公司生产的服务器时发现了恶意芯片，该公司最终被亚马逊收购。
彭博社称，调查发现，由超微公司组装的Elemental服务器受到了不属于其设计的微型芯片的污染。报道称，亚马逊向美国当局报告了此事，美国当局认为这些芯片允许攻击者利用这些服务器创建“隐形通道”进入网络。
AWS告诉彭博社，它已经审查了与Elemental收购相关的记录，“没有发现任何证据支持恶意芯片或硬件修改的说法。”
彭博社还援引三名未透露身份的公司内部人士的话报道称，苹果在2015年从硬件制造商那里购买的服务器中发现了恶意芯片。
苹果否认了这一说法，称已对彭博的说法进行了调查。
美国联邦调查局(fbi)和国土安全部(Department of Homeland Security)的代表没有回应置评请求。一个美国国家安全局一位女发言人表示，她没有立即发表评论。
尽管这些公司对报道中的事实提出了质疑，但安全专家指出，越来越多的人担心，黑客可能会在出售给政府机构和企业的硬件中插入恶意芯片，从而发动网络攻击。
非营利组织网络威胁联盟(cyber Threat Alliance)首席执行官迈克尔•丹尼尔(Michael Daniel)表示:“延伸、复杂的全球供应链为恶意网络活动带来了风险，企业必须考虑到这一点。”

<\/figure> Apple<\/a> Inc and Amazon<\/a>.com Inc denied a Bloomberg Businessweek report on Thursday that said their systems had been infiltrated by malicious computer chips<\/a> inserted by Chinese intelligence agents.Bloomberg cited 17 unidentified sources from intelligence agencies and business to support claims that Chinese spies had placed computer chips inside equipment used by about 30 companies and multiple U.S. government agencies, which would give Beijing secret access to internal networks.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to a written request for comment. Beijing has previously denied allegations of orchestrating cyber attacks against Western companies.
<\/div><\/div>Security experts who have worked for government agencies and large corporations told Reuters that they were surprised by the stark discrepancy between the claims in the Bloomberg article and the strongly worded denials from Apple and Amazon.com Inc's Amazon Web Services<\/a>. Some said that certain allegations were plausible, but that the strong denials from companies cited in the piece left them with doubts about whether the attacks had happened.
\"There is no truth\" to claims in the story that Apple found malicious chips in its servers in 2015, the said in a statement. \"This is untrue,\" Amazon said in a blog post.
Bloomberg defended its reporting.
\"Seventeen individual sources, including government officials and insiders at the companies, confirmed the manipulation of hardware and other elements of the attacks,\" Bloomberg said in a statement. \"We stand by our story and are confident in our reporting and sources.\"
The report said that a unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army infiltrated the supply chain of computer hardware maker Super Micro Computer Inc to plant malicious chips that could be used to steal corporate and government secrets.
Super Micro Computer shares fell 38 percent to $13.26 in Pink Sheet trading.

Super Micro Computer shares fell 38 percent to $13.26 in Pink Sheet trading.
<\/div><\/div>San Jose, California-based Super Micro strongly denied that it sold servers to customers contained malicious microchips in the motherboards of those systems. It said it has never found any malicious chips, had not been informed that such chips were found by any customer, and never been contacted by government agencies on the matter.
Bloomberg reported that Amazon uncovered the malicious chips in 2015 when examining servers manufactured by a company known as Elemental Technologies which Amazon eventually acquired.
The investigation found that Elemental servers, which were assembled by Super Micro, were tainted with tiny microchips that were not part of their design, Bloomberg said. Amazon reported the matter to U.S. authorities, who determined that the chips allowed attackers to create \"a stealth doorway\" into networks using those servers, the story said.
AWS told Bloomberg it had reviewed its records related to the Elemental acquisition and \"found no evidence to support claims of malicious chips or hardware modifications.\"
Bloomberg also reported that Apple in 2015 found malicious chips in servers it purchased from the hardware maker, citing three unidentified company insiders.
Apple denied the account, saying it had investigated Bloomberg's claims.
Representatives with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment. A U.S. National Security Agency<\/a> spokeswoman said she had no immediate comment.
While the companies disputed the facts in the story, security experts noted that there is growing concern that hackers could launch cyber attacks by inserting malicious chips into hardware sold to government agencies and businesses.
\"Extended, complex, global supply chains create a risk for malicious cyber activity that companies must take into account,\" said Michael Daniel, chief executive of the non-profit Cyber Threat Alliance.
