 No details yet.

 Could just easily be a RHEL or ESXi rootkit; or even code that
 runs outside the OS/Kernel and provides a leak.

 Of course, Symantec Enpoint is off when you're in safe mode.  Not
 like that crap actually prevents spyware, anyway.

 Perfect.

 Probably an act of industrial sabotage; 3rd party probably paid (or
 otherwise subverted) staff at the FoxConn plant (or whomever was the
 lowest bidder), to load it knowing some target company-X would soon need
 a replacement unit from that source.
