Exploit is hard to distinguish between a back door here.
- saagarjha 2y agoPosting claims of it being such is pretty easy, though.
- pixl97 2y agoThere is a better middle ground here by saying the company that made it may not have known, but nation state threat actors most likely do. When you see actors at this level set up manufacturing thousands of explosive filled devices at very high production quality, inserting some compromised things like printers or routers in a company network wouldn't be and shouldn't be a surprise.

It worked well in occupied Europe during WWII: https://archive.org/details/SimpleSabotageFieldManual https://archive.org/details/SimpleSabotageFieldManual
