Let me clarify: There is no embedded virus or anything and when the issue happened, it never had any embedded virus. All it had is a Windows 11 MS Account requirement bypass tool in the drive and recovery partition which their Engineers were using during the installation of Windows without creating MS Account. If you have any of those machines, simply formatting the SSD and installing a fresh copy of Windows will resolve it.
On top of that, after that incident, from the second batch, multiple YouTubers rigorously tested their newer batches and could not find any issue. I have one with me and it never came with any malware. I still did perform a fresh install.
Read the comments in the below thread to get better understanding where a lot of users actually clarified it, apart from just me.

That guy does not really understand much about computers. What he did is just read some headlines without reading the contents and then mix matching them to every thread for fear mongering and that's it.
I have been using Minisoforum for my daily driver for a very long time but purchased one of the Acemagics almost a year back, with 6800H, 32GB Ram and 1TB SSD, recently, for being used as a dedicated Database server. There wasn't any Malware and the SSD speeds are okay for my operation. The Wi-Fi module is Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 and working without any hiccups.

These mini PCs will run. But I would be cautious about running them 24x7 on critical missions. They are not designed that way. I just recently had failures on a Dell consumer grade desktop running 24x7 as NAS for over one year. The SSD failed and one added enterprise HDD also failed.
I don't use it for NAS but a dedicated Database Server with multiple different Databases installed on it. I have restricted the max TDP to 50W and base TDP to just 35W and threshold temp to 85 degree C. It does not run 24x7 but around 14 to 16 hours a day without any issues, temps or fan noises.
