Edit: This comment was a response to the HN title "China spied on Dutch Cyber Intelligence through FortiGate backdoors (defensie.nl)". I thought people will tend to interpret "FortiGate backdoor" as meaning an intentional backdoor by the vendor/factory, when that's not what the article seemed to suggest.
