I'm not so sure the people selling SCBO files are the ones we'd consider the good guys. Or at least not based on their most likely buyers.

- raverbashing 10y agoCorrect, they're most likely allowing stolen computers to be used Makes me wonder if their SCBO generating system is connected to their stolen serial number db (probably not)
- userbinator 10y agothey're most likely allowing stolen computers to be used Also those which have been recycled, or which someone has locked out accidentally, or deliberately to scam someone ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7993435 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7993435 ), etc. Used computers from companies often have BIOS passwords that no one bothered to clear before sending them off. Not every computer with a password its current owner doesn't know is a stolen one. That's why I think this is a good thing --- I believe in the fact that if you physically own something, regardless of how you came to own it, you should truly "own" it.
- raverbashing 10y agoYes, I know there are legitimate cases of resetting the BIOS password
