The worst backdoor in the history of open source software was narrowly avoided just days ago.
Had this gone undetected, vast sections of the linux ecosystem would’ve become vulnerable to being hacked and taken over by a bad actor that to this day remains totally unknown.
The XZ Backdoor is believe me - one hell of a rabbit hole, so rather than going into detail on one specific thing, this video is more of an overview on the whole campaign beginning to end.
_Videos_ is a place for high-quality content in any video format that can be streamed online. SFW please, no violence (no war videos), no porn - this is a new community for those other things. It is encouraged: - to add in brackets at the end of the title, the length of the video: [hh:mm:ss] - to add in the description the publishing date of the video and some relevant info - to add an invidious link, if it’s a youtube video. Invidious instances can be found here: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/ See also other similar communities in the following Collection: https://kbin.social/c/Videos
