Theo Tso fought against the backdooring of /dev/random by the NSA. That this backdooring was attempted was confirmed by Snowden leaks.

New York times:

"By this year, the Sigint Enabling Project had found ways inside some of the encryption chips that scramble information for businesses and governments, either by working with chipmakers to insert back doors or by exploiting security flaws, according to the documents."

Later when the code of conduct was added to the Linux project, Theo Tso was attacked with bullshit accusations on the first day...

Not that I disagree with your point, but the Snowden leaks only confirmed that the NSA does backdooring in general, not that the Intel rdrand instruction in particular was backdoored.

True, thank you for the clarification. I believe he was attacked mostly for fighting back, pour encourager les autres.
