Zero points made. Zero answers given.
The answer: a huge number of foreign citizens, possibly agents, nobody knows, working in the US tech sector, and several domestic agencies that each separately and secretly compel those companies to pay those employees to install back doors, and then kick them out of the country in exchange for a new batch of younger and cheaper employees.
I remember when I used to think that hackers ‘found’ bugs. Silly.
- nneonneo 6y agoForeign governments don’t need to pay employees to install back doors. Highly-paid software engineers are perfectly capable of inserting security bugs into their own code without prompting. Writing secure code is insanely difficult and has only become harder now that vast swaths of the code that is written is directly exposed to the Internet, or just one small step away from it.
