Lol the title of the article suggests that Seagate is involved in the scam, though it's scammers selling used drives as new

Agreed, the title isn't particularly clear, but you can interpret it as "a scandal involving Seagate products" as opposed to "a scandal with Seagate".

Since they use "Seagate's" rather than "Seagate", it indicated that it is Seagate who owns this scandal, using "Seagate" would change the meaning of the name to be a descriptive word, which wouldn't claim to own the scandal.
