a joke about Arch Linux, I promise this is a joke
I'd say its a bad day to be a Arch Linux user but that's everyday so 🤷🏾♂️
a joke about Arch Linux, I promise this is a joke
I lived through Arch Linux switching to systemd, I think I get to make jokes about it
okay let's talk about the attack seriously
an insider threat is quite possibly one of the hardest threats to defend against especially one as sophisticated and planned as this one
and it happening in a library that's used by a bunch of other projects
big 😬
okay let's talk about the attack seriously
honestly shit like the various vulnerabilities we've seen on CPUs don't scare me, SPECTRE, Meltdown whatever else
this shit scares me more than those tbh
I try not to think about it too much because it leads to extreme paranoia, like which other important library has been backdoored by a insider threat? its not a good mind state to be in
re: okay let's talk about the attack seriously
@packetcat this is an actual existing case of that one medium post from years ago talking about a hypothetical js library that steals your credit card numbers or whatever
re: okay let's talk about the attack seriously
@packetcat wait oh my god that is an actual attack that has actually happened too lol
