Apple Inc. told U.S. lawmakers that its servers weren’t compromised and sought to assure them that the company’s global supply chain is secure.
In a letter to the chairmen and ranking Democrats on the House and Senate Commerce committees, the Cupertino, California-based company on Monday disputed a Bloomberg report that Chinese spies used a microchip to infiltrate American computer networks. The letter, signed by Apple’s vice president for information security, George Stathakopoulos, offered additional briefings for staff members of the committees.
