Notably not in this article: any Huawei backdoors.
"Backdoor" implies malice. What this article is about is "vulnerabilities," also known as "bugs." The moral panic continues unabated.

- robocat 7y ago"But when ReFirm looked through the updated firmware, they still found the same backdoor — just relocated in a different place in the code. (Huawei had done the same thing)." I'm not sure what event they are referring to for Huawei. Edit: I followed the first reference I found, and ended up at: https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/543641/netgear_patch_said_leave_backdoor_problem_router/ https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/543641/netgear_patch_... perhaps because owned by Huawei or person referenced Huawei when they meant Netgear?
