The gateway to this equipment is hidden in the discs from various manufacturers that have put them there without knowing.

The security breach these discs are permanent and even if users do a cleaning of the discs these backdoors will not be eliminated. By having this hidden software on disks, can easily compromise the equipment and access them remotely without the knowledge of who uses them.
