November 14th, 2007 by Leonai |

Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 - hard drives. Those shipped from a particular distribution center have been found to be infected with a very basic virus hidden within the hard drive itself, or perhaps its within the installation utilities? Regardless this virus is targeted to record the username and password information and to send that data off to a server located someplace in China. The information reports that this was a small run of drives originating from a company and distribution center within China, which has already had the distribution haulted, however they report that there were some shipments that did make it to the general public market that are likely to be infected, and they implore people to be safe and update your virus security.
