Yes 4G nanos, only the pink ones were infected. I think they had aids.

Aren't all Chinese products that contain firmware infected with trojans, or is that just Cisco propaganda?

Worse than first thought!

Edit; Discovered this trying to find out what Best Buy has actually done for their customers about the problem, seems Best Buy is not the only distributor of the product.

Can't possibly cause as much misery as all those PC's that shipped with Win ME.

Win ME.
I wonder if IT suicide rates increased after Win ME was released.

That was only because you were trying to seduce your co-workers.

Actually, it makes me wonder. Ive been planning on upgrading to a CNC milling maching. Sadly, Chinese made since no US company makes a good Z axis column mill. The software comes with the CNC conversion package, but I havent investigated who writes it. A lil' trogan would be a cheap way for the chin to scam product designs/manufacturing programs.

Get your hands on a decent forensics programmer and ask him/her/it to grovel through the code.

I don't know why people didn't expect to be infected when the silly Chinese digital photo frame manufacturer used a default picture of Wingding when the device is first used.

That wide angle photo of my tackle apparently has caused a mass vomiting phenomenon.
