interesting, yeah. I wouldn't call it "failure rate" though, since it
seems (from what I can tell) to be a case of "duplicate keys chosen" or
"commonly used prime factors". Ok that's still bad, so the entropy
process needs to be "more random". Sounds like 'time for an upgrade'.

From the report:
"...may shed new light on NIST's 1991 decision to adopt DSA as
digital signature standard as opposed to RSA, back then a \public
controversy"

Poda's Meltdown contains Trojan / Virus!!!
It has been discovered that the unpopular Duke Nukem Online program Meltdown
has an inbuilt Backdoor Trojan. This is malicious software that has the
primary function of enabling a remote attacker to have access to or send
commands to a compromised computer. Meltdown opens a covert channel through
which a remote attacker can access and control a computer. The Trojan allows
almost any action to be carried out, thus allowing the remote attacker to
almost completely take over control of a computer. Beware!
