That is just plain crazy, Gary. What are they up to?
God knows, I see China got the blame and I think most were caught but that is madness, if a new drive can contain malware what's next?
Particularly if it can disable AV software - it's an appalling breach (one that could cost them dear in the American courts).
True, with the issue over the drive size as well they are not doing so well at the moment :(
It's going to make for interesting re-specifying of drives. ;D
