Seagate's corporate statement further claimed all hard drives leaving the Chinese subcontractor are now clean.

Seagate needs to leave the Chinese subcontractor. Duncan Hunter will address trade practices with China when he becomes President.

[Man50D]

Duncan Hunter ping!

[ovrtaxt]

Unreal. I wonder if certain secure US GOVERNMENT departments are customers?

This kind of crap is a serious security breach.

Even if the ChiCom government isn’t involved, the company could still market this info to... wealthy parties of interest.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Hunter is the only one addressing these issues about FT with Commie China.

Subsidizing your enemies is never good business

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, I’m sure we can take Seagate’s word that the Chicom government was not involved in this. Suuuuurrrrrre we can.

[Blue Highway]

I think most companies using Chinese subcontractors need to be re-evaluating at this point.

I wonder if certain secure US GOVERNMENT departments are customers?

The answer is YES. Are there terrorists in the US gov't? YES.

Let us be thankful that they have not been successful at wiping out multiple cities .... yet.

The company argued, "Our investigation also determined that the introduction of the virus (sic) was accidental and was not purposeful or malicious."

When you succumb to pure materialism (the bottom line rules in all things), then you end up defending treacherous people with any kind of lame excuse you can think of. The main objective is to be able to continue to do business in China, no matter what the cost to others (such as your customers). It was an accident that the trojan horses were included on the hard drives? I suppose it was an accident that the trojan horses were sending the information to Beijing?

”Made in China” Ping.

Lest we forget:

Chinese Seek to Buy a U.S. Maker of Disk Drives.

[csvset]

I’m not buying it. Seagate bows down to their Chinese masters.

the chinese are not to blame for lead painted toys/poison pet food/or any other substandard products.....it is the bad americans’ fault!!!!!

[Man50D]

Chinese gov’t not to blame for infected hard-drives?

Don't you understand the Chinese government has no control over Chinese businesses? ;O)

[Gorzaloon]

the manufacturer says it doesn't believe the Chinese government was involved.

I do. Too many sensitive breakins have been traced to their government agencies. Their contempt for patents and copyrights knows no bounds, even if the hackings were their "private Industry"- Not that there is any difference in a Communist state.

They need to be disconnected.

“When you succumb to pure materialism (the bottom line rules in all things), then you end up defending treacherous people with any kind of lame excuse you can think of.”

Sounds like the public policy of TROP Bush Administration.

[cripplecreek]

the manufacturer says it doesn't believe the Chinese government was involved.

Well that's certainly a far more convenient answer than making themselves a target of chinese retaliation.

[glorgau]

This sounds exactly like the announcement that was made by Hasbro (or whoever) after the toys scandal.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

MADE IN CHINA is a warning label.

[WildcatClan]

LOL! What is scary is that you’re right.
