Don't gouvernements can check the source code? like for Windows?
- mcintyre1994 11y agoIt's an interesting thought. If they checked and spotted this would they report it to defend against the attacker that injected it, or would they just pocket the master password and use it themselves?
- Kristine1975 11y agoMaybe both: They found a second backdoor, reported one and kept the other. This makes them trustworthy in the eyes of Juniper, while still netting them a backdoor.
