I agree. It was an irresponsible prank. But Microsoft didn't fork the projects. They hijacked his digital identity on two of their platforms, instead. I find that much disconcerting than what this one maintainer did.
- newaccount74 5y agoHow did they hijack his identity? They just reverted to an older version instead of the the malicious update, and suspended his account. For them it must look like a malicious hacker took over the devs account, and reverting the malicious actors changes is exactly what I'd expect of a responsible custodian. If you want to trick people into downloading malicious software, don't do it on someone else's platform.
