If it's airgapped, what do you care about it being backdoored?



Airgapped doesn't necessarily mean it can't be accessed remotely...


That's literally and precisely what it means.

Perhaps there is some new watered down usage (like what happened to "literally" or "bricked") but that is precisely why people use the term "air-gapped" - to denote networks with PHYSICAL separation from other means of access.

(Of course, if you connect an AP, it's no longer air-gapped."


All your computers are plugged into the mains for electricity... Always, always the thing that's ubiqutious is the perfect entrance for the oppressors, since noone suspects anything about those innocent things.
