If the title of the article is "backdoor found", then yeah. I'm of the opinion that it was an intentional backdoor too, I think that was a pretty clear possibility to anyone who saw the initial writeup. But to come out and claim unambiguously that it was a backdoor is masquerading an opinion as news.

It would be more entertaining if I thought other vendors were less likely to be compromised[1].
