I see what you’re saying. You’re assuming someone grabbed a bunch of cpus, fucked with them, then tossed them back into the box and sold them as new.

Exactly, if I were a bad actor with access to the stock that’s what I’d do. I’m sure there are multiple points along the supply chain where it could potentially happen.

That’s true, seems like you’d need to know where they’re going though, like a ton of work just to hopefully get one machine infected that has anything on it.
