Accusations
An independent examination of the vulnerability by Steve Gibson of Gibson Research had suggested that the peculiar nature of the 'bug' was an indication that the vulnerability was actually a backdoor engineered consciously into the system. Some sources have questioned this conclusion. Steve Gibson has since clarified that his use of the term backdoor was never intended to imply anything done by malicious intent. He still maintains that the backdoor was intentional, though not necessarily intended by Microsoft (e.g. an employee may have put it in without Microsoft's knowledge).

Famous quotes containing the word accusations:
“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again.... We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
