I wonder how companies like Twitter (mentioned in the article), Google, Apple, Microsoft and even Amazon protect themeselves from rogue employees. If I, for example, was responsible for an OS's TCP/IP stack, I can imagine ways that I could compromise security with a very low probability of the compromise being detected. I hope that all companies are taking this kind of risk very seriously.

There are lots of methods, but the simplest is not allowing anyone to commit to the repo without having at least one other person review the code.
