Undocumented Commands Found In Bluetooth Chip Manufactured in China Used By a Billion Devices.

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.
This turned racist / xenophobic real quickly.
There have been several other posts about this without mentioning China at all, especially in the post itself.
No where in the article does it say "chinese", literally anywhere.
The chip is MANUFACTURED in China.
Check your racism.
I agree we shouldn't be racist against Chinese people, but you're ignorant. From wikipedia: ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Chinese company based in Shanghai, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process.It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.
So it's designed/developed in China and manufactured in Taiwan; not China.
Dog whistling.
This has nothing to do with the chip or who makes it.
It's the way it's written.
You missed the point.
Gold medal for your performance in mental gymnastics.
Like how I clearly said the article had been posted before without mentioning China, especially in the article itsef, never mind in the post? Which obviously shows it was more about the title of the post?
I bow to YOUR mental gymnastics and ignorance combined with brute confidence.
Tell me you don't know anything about anti racism without telling me you don't know anything about anti racism.
Read a book.
You'll sound less stupid (maybe).
But you don't think buying a Tesla, Tesla stock, makes you a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer so...
This is why we're in the state are in.
Poison thrown at the wrong people.
I'm not stealing your money, firing you, taking away your rights as a human being. I don't think you're a 'parasite'.
I'm not the 1%, neither are you.
Focus on the real enemy. Then things will get done.
I actually wanted to keep the title short, but I think it would be better to edit the title to avoid any confusion to make it clear that it's manufactured in China, rather than saying it in the current way.
Edit: I edited the title to reflect the details better.
So instead of blatant racism based on a lie, you're just going to dogwhistle racism based on a lie.
Thank you, your explanation / edit is much appreciated 👏 🥳 ❤️
💜Thank you for correcting me.
I edited it now 😄
Also, thank you for showing people that there's space for these types of comments that lead to a pleasant and meaningful exchange!
This means more to me than you know 🥹
Appreciate you!

No. Fuck the Chinese. All 17billion of them.

Xi had a clone army?
