I don’t agree with all the doom saying about XZ incident.

You just know orgs are going to return after Easter and panic about it unnecessarily (they’re likely still on Redhat 6). It doesn’t impact them as it was caught super early.

Regarding the narrative that there’s nothing that can be done about these type of attacks - I also don’t agree. There’s already a change in the pipeline to systemd which would have prevented it.

The thing needs rational, calm reaction and response.

@GossiTheDog most orgs carry so much EOL in their networks that this type of things barely register in the risks they actually are willing to take and live with.
