lol if you know the answer, tell me.
How about you actually do some reading and then research before making useless posts? That's what you should be doing.

I know there's a backdoor. Is it an old backdoor?
It has been in existence for at least half a year (most likely longer).

Is it relevent?
Yes.

There are standard backdoors in everything from hardware routers to iphones(I'm not certain many posting in this thread know that).
False comparison fallacy. That's really not relevant.

Not everyone has time to look at the specifics of the exploit & figure out whether it can be used to gain root access in a way that would allow someone to steal crypto or do some other nefarious deeds.
It can only shut down 70% of the network. Nothing really nefarious. Roll Eyes
