Please correct if inaccurate, but I don’t see in that article where the folks at Espressif refer to it as a backdoor, only the security company. This seems to me as though it is no more vulnerable than any other device which can be compromised by physical access, which is most of devices. The vulnerability really looks to be more in the ability to pivot to other devices remotely after one has been compromised physically, which isn’t ideal, but still doesn’t seem to me to be any less secure than most other devices.

Who’s going to get rich making the app that actively trashes this data before it can be read by fingerprinting-ware? Because shut up and take my money.

Oh, look. Polk County being themselves out-loud again.

I’ve been actively trying to extricate myself from their ecosystem. I hate how incredibly challenging it is.
