Do you have a source for this bold claim?
HN should be for facts, not Reddit FUD.
- gaganyaan 4y agoThe OP was probably referencing this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY You can scoff at the resulting fears, but the variable existing is factual.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI know that one but that was just speculation, there was no proof that having a variable called NSA_KEY in your code is an automatic proof of a backdoor. Heck, I can prefix all my variables with 'NSA' for the shits. Backdoors do exist but they're usually disguised as bugs, not so obviously in-your-face like that.
- cmeacham98 4y agoYou can scoff at the belief in Microsoft's explanation, but the lack of any evidence of a backdoor in surfacing in the past 20+ years is factual.
