Default Foxconn installs Pork Explosion backdoor into Android gear

Porca misera

Android devices containing Foxconn firmware might have a backdoor thanks to a debugging feature left inside the OS bootloader.


According to Softpedia the feature acts as a backdoor and bypasses authentication procedures for any intruder with USB access to a vulnerable phone.
