Yet npm isn't using them allowing this RAT to work. It is not secure by default. It requires every app to manually opt in to being secure. This opt in approach to security puts desktop Linux decades behind in regards to security. Not ahead.
- hu3 7mo agoLinux is not making anything less secure than other OSs. In fact it even gives the user more security tools. So I fail to reason on you singling out Linux here.
- charcircuit 7mo agoTake for example iOS and Android. All apps are sandboxed by default. You can't make a program that just steals all of your credentials like you can on desktop Linux. Having security tools means nothing if they aren't being used.
- hu3 7mo agoNo one is running npm in Android or iOS. A more apt comparison is vs Windows and macOS. And Linux offer more than these two with regards to security.
- charcircuit 7mo agoThey aren't because Node haven't developed a Node app for them. Desktop Linux does not offer more security than macOS. macOS has proper security around stuff like apps using the mic and camera.
- PunchyHamster 7mo agoAndroid is running Linux...
- charcircuit 7mo agoAnd they added a lot of code to make it safe for users to install and use apps in general.
