  2. Do you really trust the OpenSSL Corporation? by xiando · · Score: -1, Troll

    The OpenSSL Software "Foundation" is actually a corporation which happens to be located in Maryland, US - not too far from the NSA corporation (A US Department of Defense subsidiary). Are they trustworthy? Take a good hard look at the heartbleed "bug" and make your own educated opinion. It is interesting to note that according to information presented by Jacob Appelbaum at 31c1 the NSA corporation are able to snoop SSL traffic.
