That's a problem with the Dual EC PRNG, one of four PRNGs in NIST SP 800-90, not a "skeleton key to ECC" generally.

Given the horrible performance of that PRNG, I wonder if anyone implements it, securely I would hope (with random point generation rather than using the "recommended" possibly insecure points).
