HP switches ships with malware installed
Gotta just love HP.
Their HP ProCurve 5400 zl Switchs have malware installed on the compact flash cards. http://www.h-online.com/security/new...e-1519852.html http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ctID=c03249176

Yeah it can happen to big tier-1 brands. They outsource some components (such as the cf flash card in this case) to some vendor and it opens up exposure to some prank or industrial espionage. Not long ago a similar thing happened to Dell....but was reginally localized (some deliveries in the UK...not really the rest of the world).
