Conscience sponsor: willing to help Raspberry Pi install Backdoor programs

Last Wednesday, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced that it was willing to invest money to install a malware on its device.
Information from email
Raspberry Pi was once referred to as "a card-type computer designed for student computer programming and Education". It only has a card-type computer of the credit card size, and its system is based on Linux, it was rapidly developing as it was sought after by many computer enthusiasts and hackers. On the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, there are also projects on it, and Raspberry Pi had two models, A and B, A is a USB, non-wired network interface, and 256 mb ram (Power 2.5 W, 500mA ). Type B is mainly composed of 2 USB drives, support for wired networks, and 512 MB RAM (Power 3.5 W, 700mA ). Later, Raspberry Pi introduced two models: B + AND A +.
Liz Upton, head of the Foundation's Communications Department, published an email from an anonymous Linda and promised to pay by volume for such executable files.

Liz Upton later said:
"This is amazing, and this person seems to actually express the idea of paying for malware installed on user devices ."
Suspected anonymous non-English speaker
Currently, some people say that the name of Linda is forged, so the real name of the sender cannot be verified. However, the content in the information is used currently. For example, if you use exe..exe and u instead of you. There are indications that the email author is not in the English language.
At present, malware is developing rapidly. Some people tend to spread malware through payment, and they also bind legitimate application programs. malware is often provided by third parties, the ultimate goal is to intrude into the victim's system environment.
At present, Raspberry Pi is produced by three companies with production licenses: Element 14/Premier Farnell, RS Components and Egoman. All three companies sell Raspberry Pi online. But now the proposed payment and employment is definitely not approved.
