Yeah... Russians are known for their ability to reverse engineer and circumvent protections of all sorts... For good and bad...

I'm pretty sure it won't take long before there are easy ways to circumvent whatever VPN blocking Putin invests in...

The article you're linking to starts with security researchers who installed their own backdoor which went undetected. Then it continues with a warning about the dangers of not being able to check if the firmware actually is a firmware actually from the vendor and not a manipulated one.

While I'm pro open source and agree that there are dangers not knowing what firmware is used I fail to see how an open source firmware / bios world be immune to be switched out.

What am I missing here?
