reminds me of a time back in the early 2000’s when my work decided to try using thinclients from HP to host terminal sessions to access the EMR at bedsides in a hospital. We had like 10000 of them. When we started to test them, one of the security people was seeing how it would handle the known virus at the time… well they were able to infect it at boot… and it spread to all the other devices until the plug was pulled on the project. Somewhere in the network, it was being infected before it could even load its firewall or its antivirus. So all 10000 of those devices were junked.

Sounds about right for HP. I can’t lay all the blame on them but certainly some?
