ZTE, one of the largest Chinese manufacturers of cellular phones, acknowledged that it installed a backdoor to its Score M and Skate models. Security researchers first reported the security issue, and the company eventually acknowledged it.
Purportedly the backdoor account - accessible via a hard-coded password - is used for remote firmware update for the phones, but it can be accessed by anyone with the password. The password is available online.
ZTE is the same company embroiled in a bribery scandal in the Philippines.
