This ~53 minute video has been making the social media rounds, but because it plays out like a spy novel, it really is interesting to watch.  (Though most of us can probably skip the 1st ~10 minutes since that goes into the founding of the Free Software Foundation and what GNU/Linux is.)

What is most surprising to learn is that this *massive* backdoor was discovered & exposed by a *Microsoft* programmer (not even a security researcher) annoyed by a 0.5 second delay in his logins!
