I suspect that the bad actors aren't merely benefitting from this situation, they're probably actively encouraging it, in GitHub issue discussions, on Reddit, in the comment sections of YouTube videos, here on HN. Maybe I'm paranoid.
- jongjong 3y agoI think this is a reasonable assumption for most high exposure projects. There are state actors from all sides who want to inject backdoors into software and they all benefit from complexity. It could indicate that governments are more focused on offense than defense. It seems to be a logical consequence of our short term corporate and political mindset. Offense is the best defense, they say... Ok, but not at scale when your opponents also possess the same weapons as you do; then you both end up worse off.
