Chipmaker Disables Counterfeits With Software Update
Future Technology Devices Inc. (FTDI) is the UK manufacturer of a popular USB-to-serial converter for enabling USB support on legacy peripherals. The company's technology is used widely within the critical infrastructure and healthcare sectors, as well as in many test equipment and consumer products.
FTDI recently released a software update that essentially "bricked," or disabled, counterfeit copies of one of its chips running on products from numerous manufacturers.

Sorry for the noise on old news.
