1. An anti-tampering mechanism comprising:
a first bracket;
a second bracket moveably covered on the first bracket, the second bracket defining a plurality of receptacles at a side away from the first bracket; and
a conductive member randomly disposed in one of the plurality of receptacles;
wherein the second bracket is configured to deform to move toward the first bracket under pressure of a circuit board, the circuit board contacts with the conductive member, forming an electrical connection, and the second bracket is further configured to restore to move away from the first bracket after the pressure of the circuit board is removed, causing the conductive member to pop out of the one of the plurality of receptacles.
 
7. An electronic device comprising:
a casing comprising an upper cover and a lower cover engage with each other,
a circuit board installed on the upper cover, the circuit board is located between the upper cover and the lower cover; and
an anti-tampering mechanism comprising:
a first bracket received inside the casing and fixed on the lower cover;
a second bracket moveably covered on the first bracket, the second bracket is located between the first bracket and the circuit board, the second bracket defines a plurality of receptacles at a side away from the first bracket; and
a conductive member randomly disposed in one of the plurality of receptacles;
wherein the second bracket is configured to deform to move toward the first bracket under pressure of the circuit board when the upper cover is engaged with the lower cover, the circuit board contacts with the conductive member, generating a first signal sequence; and
the second bracket is further configured to restore to move away from the first bracket after the upper cover is disengaged from the lower cover and the pressure of the circuit board is removed, causing the conductive member to pop out of the one of the plurality of receptacles.
