[Scan-DC] KiwiSDR developer had backdoor root access

[Robert H. Eisner]

 Interesting.   

I downloaded version of SDR Console (version 2.x)  about 4 years ago that included a runtime DLL that was later flagged as malware.

I love playing with various SDR Software bundles that work with my SDR Play dongle, but have often wondered if they're imbedded malware.
