Hey it's totally cool that #Microsoft #GitHub blocked access to one of the repositories in the very center of the #xz backdoor saga.  

It's not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try and make sense of all this right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like.  

Cool, cool.

@rysiek So hang on, that means that code's in copilot.

@onepict @rysiek someday some tween in central Europe will convince an online gaming customer service bot to disgorge a nation-state quality backdoor based on statistical analysis and some dice rolls?

@djsundog @onepict @rysiek Doesn't even need to be a bot, just find some lonely ex-military person and you can apparently easily fool them into giving state secrets

Retired Army officer charged with sharing classified information about Ukraine on foreign dating site

@tanepiper @djsundog @rysiek

Doesn't surprise me, like the times when Ive had a random linkedin invite to connect and it's a total stranger and yes ex military.

@djsundog @onepict @rysiek the world’s gone stupid. I could see it.
