Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
This just seems like some newbie programmer was like "hey, wouldn't it be cool if"... and built themselves a weekend project that they released on the site.
Obviously it's terrible for a site that sells SSL stuff, but concluding that this is the NSA is pretty hugely premature.
edit: Duh, didn't pick up on the sarcasm. In my defense, the parent text was way more vague at the time. :)
