Why tho
Not sure. If true, prolly just generic data mining?
Would fake news ever report if it was pinging mountain view?
Might also not be this device that was specifically targeted. The backdoor could have been placed in component firmware for any generic components this device uses, or in some general software library that gets used all over the place.
