[PLUG] Hackaday & ESP32 Back Door


Has anybody else noticed how conspicuously silent Hackaday.com has been about the apparent backdoor in ESP32 devices?

https://www.techspot.com/news/107073-researchers-uncover-hidden-backdoor-widely-used-esp32-microchip.html

This seems like it would be their bread-and-butter, but they've said nothing.

I'm wondering if the backdoor is real, or just headline writer's scare tactics.  I would have thought Hackaday would have had some good analysis of the issue, and generated some good comments.

Anybody know anything about this?

Casey
