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.
Please update the title of this post to mention the update
How so?
Idk maybe specify that it was determined to not be a backdoor. Right now it reads as anti-china fear mongering.
Thank you, I keep getting down voted because I said the same, but obviously other get it. Appreciate you and the sanity check!
