"Because most of the devices that I've ever played around with, they are always connected. It's connected to the internet. So, you know, we start from this premise that we are a security hole as a company, right? You know, somebody kidnapped my kids and tells me to make a firmware that's evil, right? And I push it out there, right?"🎧 Listen:

Why This Is Explosive
NVK literally describes a scenario where he could be coerced into pushing malicious firmware - and this is from May 2023, over 2 years AFTER the weak RNG bug was introduced in firmware 4.0 (March 2021).
He's acknowledging:
1. The manufacturer (him) is a "security hole"
2. He could be forced to "make a firmware that's evil"
3. He could "push it out there"
Given what we now know about firmware 4.0's weak RNG that persisted for 5+ years, this quote hits different.
Was he:
• Being hypothetically honest about theoretical risks?
• Hinting at what already happened?
• Projecting guilt?
That's the "backdoor type comment" that made someone's hair stand up.
