People in the industry would know that QNX has been around since the 90s (or 80s?) as a very solid embedded GUI platform. They're a company that doesn't need to prove their credentials.

I'd agree using qnx.software rather than qnx.com is kinda dumb though.

Sure, it's been around 40 years, but it's not like old companies haven't changed owners many times. So, for instance, QNX is now part of Harman which is part of Samsung.

I thought that QNX was acquired by / is still developed by BlackBerry?

Seems you are right. See how complicated it is? :)

Indeed. And it has happened before that well-known brands change owners and suddenly push new products with certain risks attached for the user. That's all I wanted to point out, and for QNX it would be a very easy way to build trust by having this kind of information (or imprint) on their website.

So it's an elaborate front by South Korea instead.

You're joking but the north korea intrusions are factually established and an ongoing security risk.
