It’s seems to me that this could be much worse than shoes.
For example, how am I supposed to know if the Sandisk flash drive I bought was directly from the manufacturer, and not a 3rd party who is part of an industrial espionage effort? How about a Yubikey?
This is likely not just a problem with Amazon, but it sure would be nice if they gave me an option to buy things directly from the oem, guaranteed.
- chihuahua 7y agoFor Samsung MicroSD cards, Samsung has a tool you can download that authenticates the card. I don't know the specifics of what the tool does, but presumably with proper use of cryptography techniques, it could be made nearly impossible to circumvent. A caveat - I used the tool and it said the card was genuine. Afterwards I put it back in my dashcam, and the dashcam said the card was bad. I just had to reformat it in the dashcam and then it was fine.
