Anyone can make claims about some obscure part of any OS having a hidden time-bomb. Given that just all parts of Linux (and FreeBSD, and NetBSD, etc) will have had a bunch of eyeballs applied to it in recent years, I have a very hard time believing that such a problem exists. Now it this supposed report was explaining hidden time bombs in Windows, I'd have no problems believing it!
