  They already use their own router backdoors to patch routers to keep chinese/russian/etc botnets out

  Lol, those back doors were probably how they got in, in the first place.

  They have back doors to prevent backdoors? Is it possible they are just too nearsighted to realize any backdoor could be exploited by anyone?

    In my experience about half of IT workers are clueless drones, another quarter are just slackers, and the remaining quarter get everything done. Those two quarters trade people on the regular thanks to burnout cycles, but yeah, there are still plenty of IT staff out there making terrible, boneheaded decisions daily.

      Its important to ride the line between slacking and getting shit done, as well as keeping up skills and not being bored.
