BSD Coder Denies Adding FBI Backdoor

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-gonna-quote-the-doors dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Theo de Raadt has made the shocking claim that OpenBSD includes a backdoor that the FBI paid coders to build. Brian Proffitt has tracked down one of the programmers named as being on the FBI payroll (actually, he tracked down two programmers with the same name). Both deny working with the FBI."
