Even Ivanchi got that message somehow somewhere um and it was kind of a mind-blowing um discovery for them that some actors actually uh actively manipulated the tool. So uh edge devices are usually quite easy to compromise uh yet it is difficult for the defenders or the the victim to detect the actual actors uh to internal resources uh and that they're present. Also a big issue with these edge devices that their operating system and software are very outdated. Um it has a pearl version of version 5.6.1 6.1 the 32bit which was built in April 2001.
