Microsoft's "NSA key"

A report alleges that Microsoft may have installed a 'back door' for the National Security Agency making it orders of magnitude easier for the US government to access their computers.

Microsoft is denying the issue, claiming that the "NSA key" is just a backup key that Microsoft is using, and that the name "NSA key" is just an unfortunate choice.
