Your dumbass should check XZ Backdoor.
It was open source, yet only blind luck led a Microsoft developer to uncover it. It would have gone in most Linux installation otherwise.
All because of an unpopular package that was maintained by a very few people.
Which was an exception to the rule and found immediately because of open source but go on with your bad self. Hell, they did so much investigative work they figured out it was a Russian hacker masquerading as a Chinese hacker.
Exception to the rule ?? I’d argue you have no idea how many times it succeeded because that’s the point. We only know what failed, if this worked I have no doubt that companies running Pegasus which have hundreds of millions of dollar of budget every year can success.
Open source when not maintained properly is fundamentally flawed, there just need one weak element in the chain, one package maintained by a handful of people on their own time.
You're a clown
Holy fuck, every time: one line answer, no explanation, just Insults. Find someone to fck instead of crying on the internet.
Triggered much, clownboy?
