Nvidia Heist
+In September, thieves took two Nvidia-branded trailers, only to discover they contained sand. Two months later, thieves successfully heisted another Nvidia truck. Identified as belonging to a food transport company, the truck carrying $11.4 million of Nvidia goodies en route to Texas disappeared from California roadways.
If Nvidia chips don’t have unique IDs that system software validates, it’s probably time for such a scheme. That would allow the company to brick stolen systems. The food truck is likely halfway across the ocean, destined for an Nvidia user who otherwise can't obtain the company’s products.
