A cybersecurity expert with the National Security Agency made a public plea Wednesday for anyone with “first-degree knowledge” of Chinese attempts to hack computer hardware to share it with federal authorities. 

Rob Joyce, an NSA senior adviser for cybersecurity strategy, said that so far, the agency has not been able to corroborate an investigative report in Bloomberg Businessweek that detailed efforts by China’s intelligence services to plant malicious chips in server motherboards produced by Super Micro Computer Inc.
