      They certainly have little interest in you if you’re a waiter at some shitty restaurant, sure. But do you really think they don’t target the agricultural, construction or food industries and the technologies they may be developing?

  So far, all of Huawei’s found potential backdoors turned out to be them being extremely terrible at writing secure software or developing secure operating procedures.

  That’s how you write a backdoor in 2023 “oops… Guess I made a mistake again”

      What you want to look for is a pattern of similar bugs that result in the same end result, e.g. t.me/durov/196

      It can also just be bad programmers but that’s kind of the point … plausible deniability
