El’ Reg rips Gibson over WMF backdoor claims


Windows back door rumor is bunk | The Register

Thomas Green all but calls Steve Gibson a blathering idiot in his latest article. I have to admit, I feel a little silly having bought into his conspiracy theory. Green makes several good points about the vulnerability and why it’s unlikely to be intentional. It seems Stepto was right on the money regardless of his position at MS. Looking back on this, Gibson seems more and more like the character “hippie” in The Abyss who thinks everything’s a conspiracy.
