>>Simply reflashing a program to an affected chip won’t flush out the trojan. The chip instead must have its bootloader specifically rewritten a clean version to remove the offending code.

>>It’s not a super dangerous hack, overall. Typically, flashing a malicious bootloader would require physical access to the chip.
<<You dont have to have physical access yourself- just trick someone else into doing it.

>>Furthermore, there’s not heaps to be gained by sneaking code onto the average 3D printer out there.
<<Uh... IoT? Netowork printer? USB/Ethernet local connections? What about all the peeps 3d printing gun parts or dildos? Or the innocent people printing dildo guns?
