You could say that again. Howver, since they by their own admission destroyed anything that possibly have given competent persons a clue to the real story behind what happened, my guess is that there is not much chance to persuade the original poster that explanations other than their own assumptions are possible. For the rest of us - 1) You and the stuff you are working on is almost certainly not important enough that nation state actors will be interested in what is on your computer. 2) If your stuff is actually that interesting, there are likely simpler ways to get hold of your data. 3) If you are actually dealing with material that is of interest to potentially hostile nation state actors, there is no way you would be allowed to mention a possible system compromise in a public forum. And finally, cock and bull stories like these do not merit any further followup. I'm sure developers would appreciate getting data on possible system compromise or other indicators of bugs in the code to study and learn from, with a view to improving any code that goes into OpenBSD. Stories like this one, with only a loose narrative and no data that could have served to verify a sequence of events, are worse than useless. -- Peter N. M.
