I honestly don't know. The reports all say server, so it could be any brand. Knowing her, it is a lenovo server though.
Superfish Spying Scandal Has Mired PC Maker Lenovo
"
Another day… another appalling spying scandal.
One that would even shock infamous whistleblowers, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
But we’re not talking about the government skimming through a few emails or phone records, or snapping your photo with a surveillance camera and adding you to a database.
This was an egregious act of corporate larceny perpetrated by one of the world’s biggest companies.
The effects of this threat are so widespread, the Department of Homeland Security was compelled to release a special alert to consumers.
You may have even unwittingly brought its nasty scheme into your very own home…
The World’s Nastiest Fish…
Think of Lenovo (LNVGY), and you probably picture a company renowned for designing and manufacturing personal computers.
And you’d be absolutely right. The Chinese firm is the biggest PC manufacturer in the world.
But there’s a dark side to the company, too.
Indeed, if you bought a laptop from Lenovo in the past six months or so, you may have a tiny bank robber installed on it. Seriously.
Since September 2014, Lenovo preinstalled a nasty piece of spyware called Superfish VisualDiscovery on many of its laptops.
