#4Backdoor is such a loaded word to use for a vulnerability. Especially since Huawei is involved. Shame on the person who came up with the title and the reporter who uses the term in the article.

It's a loaded newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

The Epoch Times is a Falun Gong propaganda arm, and Falun Gong is basically Chinese Scientology that the CCP has been trying to stamp out.

The Epoch Times is run by Falun Gong so they have an anti-Chinese government slant.

There is no valid reason, ever, for a driver to do what the Huawei driver did here. That should be obvious given the detection methods that Microsoft implemented in the kernel to find and prevent just this behavior.
The Microsoft blog might stop short of calling it malware, but I think we don't need the faux politeness here. The fact that their malware also contained a privilege escalation (the "vulnerability") is merely icing on the cake.

The Epoch Times has a very anti-PRC political stance. I've seen sensationalism in their reporting on the PRC.
It's understandable though, given their affiliation with the persecuted Falun Gong.
