Hardware backdoor

A hardware backdoor is like a secret trap door in your house. It’s a way for people with special access to get inside your house without your permission, even if you have locked the doors and windows.

When it comes to computers, a hardware backdoor is a secret way of accessing information. It’s like a special code or hidden button that lets someone get into the computer without having to enter a password or do anything to get your permission. It usually needs to be installed by the maker of the hardware and it’s usually done without the owner's knowledge.

Hardware backdoors can be used to steal information or even damage the computer. For this reason, it's important to make sure any hardware you get has been properly checked for security.
