@astraleureka I'm sorry, I thought the entire point of "open source" was that it's vastly easier to audit than closed source/most proprietary software. Isn't the discovery of this backdoor a good thing, because it means the open source model is working? (To catch threats and weaknesses in a collaboratively developed system?)

Maybe I'm underinformed, but if it took a long time to be discovered then maybe FOSS community needs to be more aggressive & thorough with auditing FOSS software. 🤷
