Fresh Hardware with Malware

Nov 13, 2007

Slashdot via Kate:

About 1,800 brand new 300-GB or 500-GB external hard drives made for Maxtor in Thailand were found to have trojan horse malwares pre-installed (autorun.inf and ghost.pif). When the HD is in use, these forward information on the disk to two websites in Beijing, China: www.nice8.org or www.we168.org.

Damn. I'm sticking with Western Digital.

Also, the hard drives contain lead and date-rape drugs.
