No worries. Siemens backdoors are even worse.

I would love to know if this was ever disclosed to Siemens, especially prior to the purchase.
In any case, someone is RuggedCom should be fired for doing nothing about this. My impression after reading the Seclist notice is that they were playing a waiting game.
BTW - RuggedCom was recently sold to Siemens for C$382 million - hope they have informed them about this issue otherwise I guess it soon will be lawyer time.
