So it's an elaborate front by South Korea instead.

You're joking but the north korea intrusions are factually established and an ongoing security risk.

I thought that QNX was acquired by / is still developed by BlackBerry?

Seems you are right. See how complicated it is? :)

Indeed. And it has happened before that well-known brands change owners and suddenly push new products with certain risks attached for the user. That's all I wanted to point out, and for QNX it would be a very easy way to build trust by having this kind of information (or imprint) on their website.
