Somehow, advanced Triada malware was added to devices before reaching resellers.

          3/10 is still not a good rating, even if strictly better than 2/10

        The video is based in mentioned sources. I don’t see a reason why every video from LTT should be non-credible.

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      https://piped.video/1vpepaQ-VQQ?si=t52OHvJ79nnXSsYC

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
