Source Link Privacy.
Tarlogic Security has detected a backdoor in the ESP32, a microcontroller that enables WiFi and Bluetooth connection and is present in millions of mass-market IoT devices. Exploitation of this backdoor would allow hostile actors to conduct impersonation attacks and permanently infect sensitive devices such as mobile phones, computers, smart locks or medical equipment by bypassing code audit controls.
Update: The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't.
tech backdoors are only okay when us good guys require em
China ain't our friend but neither is our own regime, I don't get the normies only caring about privacy and security when chinaman do the thing
Then they tuck their dicks because they got nothing to hide when domestic spook is doing the same
pathetic and intellectually disingenuous
How about all tech backdoors are bad and we should aim to use and make software and hardware that is ethically produced and usable without selling out your privacy and security?
Where did anyone say anything remotely like that?
I think it's sarcasm mate.
I wouldnt be so sure about that. I've heard people say stuff that was mindbogglingly dumber than that, completely seriously.
it was in fact sarcasm
thats what /s is for.
