A Chinese hard drive subcontractor recently admitted to "promoting" an additional trojan that steals information from Maxtor's production products.
Last September, security vendor Kaspersky Labs announced the discovery of Maxtor 3200-branded Maxtor 3200 external hard drive products that were marketed with a trojan called AutoRun-AH. At that time, Seagate - the parent company that owned Maxtor - expressed skepticism and conducted an investigation.
The results confirmed that some Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 products since August 2007 were indeed infected with a dangerous trojan. Further investigation Seagate identifies the cause of the incident belonging to a subcontractor producing products for the company in China.
Seagate claims to have quickly stopped shipping products suspected of being infected with malicious code as long as the problem is clarified. All products shipped will soon be 'cleaned'. Products sold to the market will be recalled.
Seagate has declined to comment on further information about the incident and disclosed information about the number of products infected with malicious code.
