L'iPhone ha una backdoor <a href=" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/3358134/Apples-Jobs-confirms-iPhone-kill-switch.html ">che permette ad Apple di disinstallare a distanza applicazioni</a> che reputa “inappropriate”. Jobs ha detto che è giusto che Apple abbia questo potere perché di Apple ci si può fidare, eccome. 90 HP delivers printers with a universal back door, and recently used it to <a href=" https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/may/10/how-can-hp-block-me-from-using-a-cheaper-printer-cartridge "> sabotage them by remotely installing malware</a>. The malware makes the printer refuse to function with non-HP ink cartrides, and even with old HP cartridges which HP now declares to have “expired.” HP calls the back door “dynamic security,” and has the gall to claim that this “security” protects users from malware. 93 NordicTrack, a company that sells exercise machines with ability to show videos <a href=" https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/11/locked-out-of-god-mode-runners-are-hacking-their-treadmills/ ">limits what people can watch, and recently disabled a feature</a> that was originally functional. This happened through automatic update and probably involved a universal back door. 94 Peloton company which produces treadmills recently <a href=" https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/peloton-tread-owners-now-forced-into-monthly-subscription-after-recall/ ">locked people out of basic features of people's treadmills by a software update</a>. The company now asks people for a membership/subscription for what people already paid for. 98 Microsoft is <a href=" https://uk.pcmag.com/operating-systems/131798/microsoft-starts-automatically-removing-flash-from-windows ">forcibly removing the Flash player from computers running Windows 10</a>, using <a href=" /proprietary/proprietary-back-doors.html#windows-update ">a universal backdoor in Windows</a>. 99 The fact that Flash has been <a href=" /proprietary/proprietary-back-doors.html#M202012020 ">disabled by Adobe</a> is no excuse for this abuse of power. The nature of proprietary software, such as Microsoft Windows, gives the developers power to impose their decisions on users. Free software on the other hand empowers users to make their own decisions. 100 Some Wavelink and JetStream wifi routers have universal back doors that enable unauthenticated users to remotely control not only the routers, but also any devices connected to the network. There is evidence that <a href=" https://cybernews.com/security/walmart-exclusive-routers-others-made-in-china-contain-backdoors-to-control-devices/ "> this vulnerability is actively exploited</a>. 101 If you consider buying a router, we encourage you to get one that <a href=" https://ryf.fsf.org/categories/routers ">runs on free software</a>. Any attempts at introducing malicious functionalities in it (e.g., through a firmware update) will be detected by the community, and soon corrected. 102 If unfortunately you own a router that runs on proprietary software, don't panic! You may be able to replace its firmware with a free operating system such as <a href=" https://librecmc.org ">libreCMC</a>. If you don't know how, you can get help from a nearby GNU/Linux user group. 103 A new app published by Google <a href=" https://www.xda-developers.com/google-device-lock-controller-banks-payments/ ">lets banks and creditors deactivate people's Android devices</a> if they fail to make payments. If someone's device gets deactivated, it will be limited to basic functionality, such as emergency calling and access to settings. 104 BMW will remotely <a href=" https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/bmw-vehicle-as-a-platform/ "> enable and disable functionality in cars</a> through a universal back door. 105 The <a href=" https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/ "> Google Play Terms of Service</a> insist that the user of Android accept the presence of universal back doors in apps released by Google. 107 Android phones subsidized by the US government come with <a href=" https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/01/us-government-funded-android-phones-come-preinstalled-with-unremovable-malware/ "> preinstalled adware and a back door for forcing installation of apps</a>. 108 The adware is in a modified version of an essential system configuration app. The back door is a surreptitious addition to a program whose stated purpose is to be a <a href=" https://www.zdnet.com/article/unremovable-malware-found-preinstalled-on-low-end-smartphone-sold-in-the-us/ "> universal back door for firmware</a>. 110 The Chinese Communist Party's <a href=" /proprietary/proprietary-surveillance.html#M201910130 "> “Study the Great Nation” app</a> was found to contain <a href=" https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/chinese-app-allows-officials-access-to-100-million-users-phone-report-2115962 "> a back-door allowing developers to run any code they wish</a> in the users' phone, as “superusers.” 111 Note: The <a href=" http://web-old.archive.org/web/20191015005153/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/chinese-app-on-xis-ideology-allows-data-access-to-100-million-users-phones-report-says/2019/10/11/2d53bbae-eb4d-11e9-bafb-da248f8d5734_story.html "> Washington Post version of the article</a> (partly obfuscated, but readable after copy-pasting in a text editor) includes a clarification saying that the tests were only performed on the Android version of the app, and that, according to Apple, “this kind of ‘superuser’ surveillance could not be conducted on Apple's operating system.” 112 ChromeBooks are programmed for obsolescence: ChromeOS has a universal back door that is used for updates and <a href=" https://www.theregister.com/2019/08/22/buying_a_chromebook_dont_forget_to_check_when_it_expires/ "> ceases to operate at a predefined date</a>. From then on, there appears to be no support whatsoever for the computer. 114 The FordPass Connect feature of some Ford vehicles has <a href=" https://web.archive.org/web/20200530023040/https://www.myfordpass.com/content/ford_com/fp_app/en_us/termsprivacy.html "> near-complete access to the internal car network</a>. It is constantly connected to the cellular phone network and sends Ford a lot of data, including car location. This feature operates even when the ignition key is removed, and users report that they can't disable it. 116 New GM cars <a href=" https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gmc/vehicles/canyon/2019.html "> offer the feature of a universal back door</a>. 118 The Furby Connect has a <a href=" https://web.archive.org/web/20220604212722/https://www.contextis.com/en/blog/dont-feed-them-after-midnight-reverse-engineering-the-furby-connect "> universal back door</a>. If the product as shipped doesn't act as a listening device, remote changes to the code could surely convert it into one. 119 Sony has brought back its robotic pet Aibo, this time <a href=" https://www.vice.com/en/article/bj778v/sony-wants-to-sell-you-a-subscription-to-a-robot-dog-aibo-90s-pet "> with a universal back door, and tethered to a server that requires a subscription</a>. 120 Tesla used software to limit the part of the battery that was available to customers in some cars, and <a href=" https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/09/tesla-flips-a-switch-to-increase-the-range-of-some-cars-in-florida-to-help-people-evacuate/ "> a universal back door in the software</a> to temporarily increase this limit. 122 | Vizio “smart” TVs <a | [-href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2017/02/what-vizio-was-doing-behind-tv-screen">have-] | {+href="https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2017/02/what-vizio-was-doing-behind-tv-screen"> | have+} a universal back door</a>.
