to allow Trojan horses to roll into your computer system or make it vulnerable to infection by viruses and worms! This is the impression I get, as a layman, reading the following report...
From Malaysia Today: 'Hacking ethics - unsecuring Unifi?' by Aizuddin Danian...
Excerpts:
"Basically, when TM rolled out their fiber optic internet broadband service called Unifi, they:
(a) used hardware that had known firmware security holes AND forced every Unifi customer to use said hardware and
(b) installed a "backdoor" into each Unifi-distributed router on the pretext that the backdoor will be used by Unifi remote technicians should the customer need help. The problem is that this back door can be used by ANYONE, and not just Unifi staff."
