It is BULLSHIT

Somone Photoshopped that, it was all over slashdot and some other security realted sites.

If you are curious try it yourself and see that this is not the case.

I am not going to install that thing, but I see that you are right.
Anyway, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was true.
