The ESP32 Bluetooth Backdoor That Wasn’t
https://hackaday.com/2025/03/10/the-esp32-bluetooth-backdoor-that-wasnt/
@hackaday This news really shocked me but with this context it makes a lot more sense. I was surprised that there could be a “backdoor” in such a well known chip. But I imagined that “backdoor” would mean I could make a device to wirelessly take over every set of speakers, earbuds and lightbulbs in range and maybe also steal their passwords or something too— but this is more like if you let me physically plug in I can mess with you using information that isn’t well known right?
@futurebird @hackaday As someone who participated in spreading the FUD around this on Saturday, it's a good reminder that a "good story" will travel much faster than the actual truth - and it's important to spread corrections once they're known.
