I would say otherwise, seeing as that it was a known vulnerability, and left in intentionally. Very much a backdoor.

- ikurei 13y agoWhy "intentionally". May be it was put there intentionally but leaving it that way was a mistake. I don't think that's a backdoor, just from the article.
- venomsnake 13y agoI would say that both malice and stupidity of HP are well balanced in this case.

- ikurei 13y agoIt doesn't say it was left there intentionally. We don't have (or this article does not give) information enough to call it a backdoor.
- yen223 13y agoAccidentally leaving an open administrator account is a bug as old as time. I won't necessarily attribute it to malice. That said, it's still a backdoor, whether it was left there intentionally or not. I'd have a hard time trusting HP products after this.
