Developer gets prison after admitting backdoor was made for malice
Found on Ars Technica on Sunday, 25 February 2018
Huddleston's case gained national attention last March when Daily Beast reporter Kevin Poulsen argued that the case against Huddleston was novel because it prosecuted the developer of "dual-use software" who had "hacked no one."
In addition to receiving 33 months in prison, Huddleston was sentenced to two years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Yet still the politicians too want mandatory backdoors. It would be safer to have them in jail too.
