I don't get the FUD post. The thing is open-source. If security audit is required, why not just do it?

As HN: RustDesk Installs Chinese Root Certificates

WTF? A root cert that I don't know how the private key being handled install sliently? This isn't just a mishap but a fucking backdoor. No matter how legit the purpose is, this is plain unacceptable.

Update: It seems they have removed that cert already.
