I feel the need to point out that when it comes to products whose sole existence is to ensure a continuing revenue stream for the company that built them (like a PS4), you never read about shit like this being "accidentally" left in" by said company.

But when it comes to a consumer product, they're subject to an entire different league (lack) of security.
