    As HN: RustDesk Installs Chinese Root Certificates

    WTF? A root cert that I don’t know how the private key being handled install sliently? This isn’t just a mishap but a fucking backdoor. No matter how legit the purpose is, this is plain unacceptable.

    Update: It seems they have removed that cert already.

      No evidence this is anyone in the RustDesk team + shitty/possibly LLM-generated response leads me to believe this is a troll.

      just trust us bro we’re so passionate and reliable

      audits are totally unnecessary

      Are you joking, or high? Let’s see, what would be great evidence of a desire to improve? Hmmmmm…
