To quote the article: "Despite urging by the Yemen-based al Qaida leader Anwar Al Anlaki, Karim also rejected the use of a sophisticated code program called "Mujhaddin Secrets", which implements all the AES candidate cyphers, "because 'kaffirs', or non-believers, know about it so it must be less secure".

In South Africa you could be prosecuted for using the word "k*ffir" which is regarded as a racist and demeaning term.
This very subject also popped up in Bike Radar's Forums too, Most complainants were stung for £15 mobile top ups. Most of these fraudulent transactions were noted by the CC issuers and it seems as if most were refunded.
The Thread in relation to the CRC issues can be found here:

Fortunately I (and many others) pay for our CRC purchases via PayPal and (obviously) have not been affected
What is alarming is CRC's silence on this matter, Fortunately the viral networking of the Forums has alerted most (would be) CRC customers to the issue.
Thank you El Reg for getting this strory out there :¬)

Sony are a multi billion dollar entity and are only punishing George Hotz because they can
No Sony products in my house either. Oops I lie, I have a PSP, but that's being used to keep a skew table level.
