Hi, in what instances has the conjecture that a bug was a deliberate backdoor been proven correct?

If Peter is crying WOLF all the time. The one time he sees one, no one will notice it. That is how humans work.


If wa start crying 'backdoor' all the time who will notice it anymore if there truly is one. But untill reasonable arguments based on code audits or other reliable sources are presented we must assume that other human quality prevailed: Humans make errors. Even very silly ones at times.
