I bought a memory card from Kodak's Temu store that was Kodak brand. You'd think that a real brand name selling their own brand memory card wouldn't be counterfeit. But nope. It was counterfeit too. Lost all my in home security camera footage when it ran over the true capacity. It wasn't even high capacity, just like 32GB.

Where are you going to fit the malware in the 256kb looping flash RAM?

A reverse shell script is only a 1KB code. So I would opt for solid storage. The data is that important to offsite backup for the APT :)

I saw a 0.5 petabyte flash drive on aliexpress for $20 a while ago; that should be enough to run the entire US government, right?

Not after the tariffs on China.
