OSNews: "FBI Added Secret Backdoors to OpenBSD IPSEC"
by Volker Weber
Okay, this is potentially very big news that really needs all the exposure it can get. OpenBSD's Theo de Raadt has received an email in which it was revealed to him that ten years ago, the FBI paid several open source developers to implement hidden backdoors in OpenBSD's IPSEC stack. De Raadt decided to publish the email for all to see, so that the code in question can be reviewed. Insane stuff.

Wow, FBI was way ahead of the times. Well, assuming this was an early response to today's terrorist threats... and of course 9/11. Right!
