In Japanese "interesting" can be a polite way to say "fucking absurd," so in that sense he does

To be fair, it could be used the same way in English. Even if the hacker did not mean it that way. "Grandma had some interesting comments about General Lee at Thanksgiving dinner."

Huh, that's true. I wonder if we got it from them or they got it from us.

I think it is an instance convergent evolution. Some variant of "interesting" will always seem like a very diplomatic way of saying bizarre or weird.
