He claims that 10 years ago, several developers were paid by the FBI to implement hidden backdoors into OpenBSD's IPSEC stack. This has prompted a lot of speculation about the allegations' validity, and less than 24 hours later, it has descended into one person's word against that of others.

Gregory Perry gave some additional background information to Robert McMillan, stating he did not intend for De Raadt to make the email public - although he doesn't seem to object to it.

Then again, in this day and age, information is easy to come by.
