image Malware discovered on NEW Seagate HARD DRIVES image
Trojans
PAN_IRISH writes "Reuters

According to the article in:
REUTERS,
the Factory had been compromised somehow so that some hard drives were found to be compromised by Trojans at the time they were in the factory setting.


Investigation Bureau officials said their investigation suggested infection may have occurred when the devices were in the hands of Chinese sub-contractors during the manufacturing process, according to the newspaper. "
