If you have fiber optics running to you home or business this is a major concern for you.
A FTTH device is an end user device, the equipment that converts the fiber optic signal to classic ethernet signals.

Two security researchers said this week that they found severe vulnerabilities and what appears to be intentional backdoors in the firmware of 29 FTTH OLT devices from popular vendor C-Data.

These devices are located all over an ISP's network, and due to their crucial role, they are also one of today's most widespread types of networking devices, as they need to sit in millions of network termination endpoints all over the globe.
