Don't see new stuff coming dirty, thankfully it's rare and hope to never experience it.

I remember reading a tech blog posts that CPU thermal paste is attracting ants which like to eat the paste.

It is concerning that thermal paste makers don't test out their thermal paste more to see if it attract bugs.

I think there may also be some factories who are less careful in hiring workers who may steal the good thermal paste to sell , and replace the stolen thermal paste with poorer quality thermal paste which attracts insects.
