Dell warns on spyware infected server motherboards2010-07-21 08:51 by DanielaTags: Dell, spyware
Dell is warning customers that there is malware on some of its server motherboards. The PowerEdge R410 Rack server has spyware within its embedded systems management software. The direct seller is sending customers letters warning of the danger and also telephoning those affected. A post in a support forum says customers should hear from Dell shortly.
