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."

    The difference is that the original story is posted by kdawson, so no registered users will see it, because we've all blocked him from the front page. This one is posted by Taco, so we'll see it.

    What, kdawson is still working at Slashdot? Amazing. If Taco has any smarts at all, he'd let kdawson go. No one I know reads his drivel.

    Taco, you listening?

    I believe there's a law against releasing defenceless pets into the wild.
