I like Transmission, but this is the second serious security problem they've had this year. Once you can forgive, but twice and it's time to look for a new BitTorrent client.

FYI: Transmission binaries are now hosted on GitHub, so it is very unlikely that anything like this can happen in the future without compromising developer machines.

  Question is, how implausible do we think it is that a developer's computer gets compromised?

    Well, a developer's local machine will typically be much less likely to be compromised than a always-on, publicly-broadcasted machine.
