That’s not a NOBUS backdoor. It’s a different type of backdoor and I’m pointing out that proving there is no NOBUS backdoor doesn’t mean there’s no other backdoor.
It’s a counterexample that I came up with in 5 minutes, not a proof that it’s useful to a state actor.
- some_furry 3mo agoWhy would they use a backdoor that isn't NOBUS? And why would they still be migrating top secret communications towards the algorithm they (NOBUS or not) have a backdoor in? That doesn't sound very COMINT to me.
