I think on a good day you might just shrug this comment off as being somewhat facetious, but given everything else that's happened, it's much more relevant

The "Hair Standing Up" Backdoor Comment

"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: https://pullthatupjamie.ai/share?clip=01ed195c-4199-45d6-882b-25356356cbcd_p67

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.
