    My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through? I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(

      Yep for sure. But open source at least let’s you examine every part of the ecosystem.

      No software is perfect even if all contributors have good intentions and do all due diligence.

      Throw some malice and there is a chance something will get through.
