Counterfeiting is still a major problem in the electronics supply chain, and I thought it would be interesting, useful and enlightening to see a rather in-depth story of one incident.
Was there an original posting (you call this a 'repost')?
I enjoyed it a lot, actually. Not that I've had much dealings with counterfeit hardware but I can imagine that anybody that is into hardware hacking on a slightly larger scale has to worry about this.
Personally I don't mind reposts -- submitters usually have the best of intentions, and this story didn't get much play on HN the first time. But with older stories, a date in the title is a nice touch. I ended up reading this thinking it was an update on Bunnie's original post.
