I know they used zero-day exploits, but the wording kinda' sounds like they left a back door in and were simply hoping no one would find it. Hilarious.

I mean they kind of did. They're prolly in the middle of an investigation as to why they shipped hardware with some registers/memory outside all of their memory protection. It'd also be kind of hard to find.
