Recently multiple Android mobile device models sold in the United States have been found to include a backdoor in their firmware and to send personally identifiable information (PII) to third-party servers. Furthermore the question was raised why the users were not informed. Not only is there a backdoor in the firmware however devices sold via Amazon, BestBuy, and other major US-based online retailers, could also install applications remotely, without user consent.
