Gamers Nexus | Scam Warning: MSI Exposes 600,000+ Warranty Records @GamersNexus | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Sponsor: Thermaltake Tower 300 mATX Case on Amazon geni.us/WNABU4
MSI had its internal warranty (RMA) server publicly exposed, where hundreds of thousands of warranty records were available to anybody. There was no hack required, no account access required, and it was all in plain text. We held publication until MSI closed the server off from public access. This follows a similar story we ran on Zotac last week.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
