Good interview with @securelyfitz about the Bloomberg chip hack story by @riskybusiness. Joe, a hardware hacking expert, was one of the named sources quoted in the piece. He discusses his discomfort with the story and skepticism about its accuracy. risky.biz/RB517_feature/
I spoke with Joe on Friday and he also told me no fact checkers from Bloomberg had contacted him to verify information he provided or even to verify his quote before the piece published. Apple also told me no fact checkers contacted them, as did Joe Grand, the other quoted source
As a point of comparison - for the New York Times magazine cover story I recently wrote about election security, I spent a week w/ two fact-checkers combing through every fact in the piece; they also called all quoted sources to verify their words and any facts they gave me.
The Bloomberg story was a magazine cover piece. It makes no sense to me that fact checkers didn't contact either of the two named and quoted sources to verify their quotes and info they provided or contact Apple independently of the reporters to verify information about Apple.
