“I’m shocked — shocked — to find that China is asshole!”
Security researchers have uncovered a pre-installed, undocumented remote access tunnel in 🇨🇳 Unitree Go1 robot dogs.
Each Unitree Go1 robot dog is shipped with a preconfigured tunnel client that initiates a connection to 🇨🇳 CloudSail — a remote access platform developed by 🇨🇳 Zhexi Technology, based in China.
“Anybody with access to the API key can freely access all robot dogs on the tunnel network, remotely control them, use the vision cameras to see through their eyes, or even hop on the RPI via SSH.” […]
The discovery raises serious concerns about supply chain trust, especially as these robots are widely used in academic, corporate, and even defense-related environments.
The Chinese will soon be programming these dogs to curl …
Hey remember when some conspiracy minded folks were saying copies of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails hosted on her server were being sent daily to dark offices in China and everyone said “that’s crazy talk”?
Crazy…
Of course if the entire country is an asshole, that’d be less crazy and more of “has met my expectations”.

Next thing you know … the ChiComs will be floating spy balloons over the continental US?
This calls for a response:

Ah So!
I spy
Wif my dog riddah eye …
?
from chirer you say?
the same ones whose G5 routers routed their traffic back to their masters?
has it yet CLUED IN this side of the Pacific to ALWAYS expect such as this with the digital gadgetry? ALWAYS expect it?
Why do we do any trade at all with this commie country? It’s a betrayal to all those whose jobs were exported there, but especially to those who were killed or wounded in the Korean War. I’ve seen my 94yo father having to deal with his war wounds my entire life, and it really pisses me off.
I agree. A 100% tariff on everything made in China would be a good start. If the stock market drops make it 200%
The west loves cheap chinese products. Just look at any city in Canada littered with “just a buck stores” like Dollar Tree or Dollarama whose wares are almost exclusively Chinese origin.
Woah to any man who has to tell his wife she cant purchase chinese junk anymore for the household.
When it comes to electronics, we have to choose between MSS or NSA derived products. Neither is good.
“Neither is good” … but one is worse.
In a moment of irony … Dollar Tree stock is UP 10% today … one of the few stocks in positive territory.
Yeah … that will be the refuge for poor, beleaguered, ex-Federal workers after their firings. Even with the tariffs … we will buy cheap ChiCom crap.
an ugly forgotten truth re korean war: the wave after wave of chirese infantry? gleaned from the former nationalist ranks, allowed to ‘prove’ their loyalty to the new master the guy in the sedan chair that went on that long sightseeing tour thru the mountains.
In three more years the kids will wonder what these guys are doing.

You say I in charge of supplies. Well. Supplies!
One of the side effects of everything increasingly being a consumer electronics device rather than software running on a general purpose CPU is that it’s very difficult to determine what embedded firmware is doing. Even if the source code of the firmware is released, verifying that what was burned is the same as what that source code compiles to is equally difficult.
Now if only the open source advocacy community wasn’t made up completely of batshit insane Communist furries.
When the choice is between your rights and a button that costs 10 cents on the dollar.. 10 cents wins every time..
This same idea applies to business dealing as well.. We cant afford proper dealings anymore.. And yes, this is how it all ends..
