TLDR: Nerds and hammers discover that connecting radio receivers to the internet is not always a good idea. Turns out every one of these popular $350 software-defined radios can be fully controlled and modified remotely with the right admin credentials. They are NOT happy that the creators coded a backdoor into their favorite radio. On top of that, these radios are capable of decoding GPS signals, so their locations are now compromised too.
The creator of KiwiSDR, after letting it slip that he had a backdoor, immediately went into damage control mode and erased any mention of it from his posts. He is now pretending on GitHub that he didn't know about this and is releasing a patch to cover it up.
