On October 23, 2026, Voltgrid News reported that Israeli security firm Lava had identified 32 NVIDIA B300 GPUs through monitoring endpoints whose IP addresses geolocated to China. The count came from remote telemetry, not a physical inspection of the GPUs.
What the 32-GPU count measured
The endpoints used NVIDIA DCGM Exporter, a GPU monitoring system. According to Voltgrid, they were accessible without authentication and exposed GPU model names and unique device identifiers over HTTP. Those identifiers let Lava count individual GPUs remotely.
The result is a count of GPU identifiers visible through monitoring endpoints. It is not an on-site inventory.
What the China location signal means
The endpoints’ IP addresses geolocated to China. IP geolocation is a location estimate for a network address, and Voltgrid noted that it is not definitive. The signal describes the endpoints’ network addresses, not a verified facility location for the GPUs.
Voltgrid traced the China Telecom connection to DigiTimes coverage and said Lava’s own write-up did not name the carrier. That is a reported link to the network, not an identification of the GPUs’ owner.
How the finding relates to export controls
Voltgrid reported that U.S. export controls bar sales of B300 GPUs to Chinese buyers. The reported scan counted GPU identifiers at network endpoints; a transaction-level legal conclusion concerns who bought the hardware and how it was shipped.
