Manufacturer’s Backdoor Found on Popular Chinese Android Smartphone
The manufacturer has also taken steps via modifications to its version of Android to keep the backdoor hidden from users and security software that could be installed on the phone. For example, Olson said Coolpad has disabled the long-press system that allows a user to find out what application generated an pop-up advertisement or notification, for example.
Well, they just ruined their brand.
I don’t give a shit if they come out with The Return Of Jesus tablet. They are permanently banned from coverage here.
