It also sounds like the time Max Butler exploited a buffer overflow in BIND to patch a bunch of DOD systems. As we later found out, he added some extra "functionality" to that patch. Who's to say FBI hasn't done that in some small fraction of cases?

Interesting, looks like he's actually supposed to be released from prison today:

> Butler is currently incarcerated at FCI Victorville Medium 2 in California, he expected to be released April 14, 2021.
