If you read the whole article, especially the very last part, once a hacker (in this case no need to hack, cos TCL has a back door wide open for them to access anytime) got access to the os of TCL, it can jump to all the other devices in your household that are connected to the same router. Not only your mobile, but your laptop and all. Because all are in the same network. That's why the 2 security experts raise this jaw dropping security breach.
Hmmm... it seems that TCL deliberately built that back door into their devices... I won't be surprised if Xiaomi and other Chinese tech companies do it... for that matter any company making any device that can do the same... basically they have all the codes and if they push a patch to open up this backdoor, which one of us will be wiser?
