> In the world of computer security this technology has a name, it’s called “a backdoor.” A well-documented and well-intended backdoor, but still a backdoor. Installed and enabled by default on millions of devices around the world.

Sorry, but that backdoor has already existed for a long time. It exists in every IoT gadget, smart car, smart speaker, smart home and other connected device that phones home to its vendor and can receive arbitrary firmware updates. It exists for every app and every desktop software that will automatically update itself in the name of "evergreen software".

This is just the first time someone is publicly making use of the backdoor.
