        It’s a common way to interface with subsystems like wifi/bt/802.15.4 etc. you need physical access to the device or the ability to infect the firmware. If you can flash the device with your own firmware it’s already compromised

        More info on the HN thread discussing the article. I dont read HN, but top comments had a bit more insights than the scare-mongering «news» article
