Here's a good article about a backdoor built into Samsung's Galaxy baseband processor, discovered in 2014: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/replicant-develop

  This isn’t a backdoor in the baseband. It’s code in the kernel which allows the baseband to effectively execute code in said kernel. Definitely not ideal, but (especially without seeing baseband code) not something you can call a backdoor. That said, I’d never use a Samsung. But that’s a whole other story.

    I’m not going to say this is a backdoor but what I will say is that the best backdoor is the one with plausible deniability.
