Hardware from new pc project compromised alpha02?

Just out of curiousity. And here are plenty techsavy guys, so why Not asking.

You saw the project where alpha02 described in detail about his 60k hardware he build.
As well He mentioned something along the lines he would Have bought the newer parts but some where Held one month in Customs. He ordered from US.
Would it be possible to tamper with the hardware or drivers or whatever and therewith planted a backdoor or whatever in his pc? Means from there knew all the logins already.
they were able to compromise the forum and get all the locations.
I don't buy the was logged in in his admin account and all privatekeys and passwords openly noted.
Is something like that possible?

Possible yes. Did it happen? I highly doubt it. The fact he was logged in whilst raided is beyond believable. Nobody knows when they're going to be raided. He was simply unfortunate. It's far more obscure to believe they tampered with his hardware prior to it being shipped out of the US.

You need some serious tinfoil for this kind of shit. We are not in a James Bond movies, they have a much more practical approach.

Nice name.

Sounds to me like he should have build himself a raid proof safe room ya know! With cameras on the outside and a few thick steel bars on the door.
