The SERCOMM Corporation is a company based in Taipei in Taiwan , which as a contract manufacturer devices for computer networks develops and manufactures.
Sercomm was founded in 1992 in Taipei and, according to the company website, employs thousands of people worldwide.
Sercomm manufactures devices for broadband internet access , WLAN and home automation as well as devices for home, commercial, telecommunications, security monitoring and cloud- based applications. While Sercomm works with telecommunications companies around the world, Sercomm products are mainly to be found on the German market as OEM devices, for example as router models from Deutsche Telekom ( Speedport ).
Backdoor
Sercomm was found to be the origin of the port 32764 backdoor , which affected not only Netgear devices but also devices from Deutsche Telekom ( Speedport ). In 2014 it became known that devices that are based entirely or partially on Sercomm solutions had had unsecured remote access ( backdoor ) since at least 2003 , which, unnoticed by the owner, enabled complete remote control of the device and in many products accessible via the Internet was. After it became known, manufacturers initially hesitated to respond with security updates , which, however, for some manufacturers such as Netgear did not remove the back door, but merely hid it. It is not known whether and to what extent this backdoor was used for less obvious purposes such as identity theft .
