- thfuran 5y agoSo the hackers have actually just secured all of Nvidia's and Samsung's private information, out in public?
- stonewareslord 5y agoLeaking source doesn't make the code open source. It's still closed source
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoNo, now it's "source available", lol
- danuker 5y agoAnother way to throw the baby out with the bathwater: disconnect and turn off your computer, for security.
- chii 5y agoopen source software doesn't mean anything other than source is "open" - security is orthogonal. And also, just because more eyeballs are on it doesn't mean it is automagically more secure.
