Tarlogic Security has detected a backdoor in the ESP32, a microcontroller that enables WiFi and Bluetooth connection and is present in millions of mass-market IoT devices. Exploitation of this backdoor would allow hostile actors to conduct impersonation attacks and permanently infect sensitive devices such as mobile phones, computers, smart locks or medical equipment by bypassing code audit controls.

Update: The ESP32 “backdoor” that wasn’t.

    I actually wanted to keep the title short, but I think it would be better to edit the title to avoid any confusion to make it clear that it’s manufactured in China, rather than saying it in the current way.

    Edit: I edited the title to reflect the details better.

      So instead of blatant racism based on a lie, you’re just going to dogwhistle racism based on a lie.
