A OS backdoor is very simular to a backdoor cut, which allows a player to sneak behind defenders when they are focused on the ball or player with a ball.

NBA coaches have taken inspiration from many different places to perfect their plays. Computer security is just another step.

As long as the backdoor is licenced GPL what’s the problem?

I wouldn’t be surprised if I knew that the backdoors that appear in Windows were designed by someone. I didn’t know they were this brazen.

I’m not innocent, but this is unbelievable, that they would ask the main developer to plant a virus in it!! This is really rude

Yeah, when the actual mobo and cpu can be taken over remotely, what does the OS even matter?
