Got caught?

Call me suspicious but I wonder how much of my home use hardware/software has hidden ports for the feds (and hackers) to access my personal information. If it doesn't have it now, it will in the future.

It wouldn't be hard for a company to embed something like this in my router. Same with my cell phone. Same with software programs like MSOffice, etc.

Not that I have anything to hide but this kind of vulnerability can be exploited by hackers trying to steal my bank account information.

Hussein is probably behind this. He is a criminal and needs to be jailed.

So VPN users were the target? Presumably, the VPN provider would be using one of these routers, right?

Do you really think this is the only one? I would bet EVERY chip, firmware and software in our computers if full of these backdoors. The backdoors are patched but new ones are always found. Just assume someone is watching or listening to you when you use your computer.
