Windows: Literally gets backdoors injected in by the FBI and distributed to every single copy being executed in production in every system on the planet, and they're not only not removed, but INTENTIONALLY ALLOWED FOR YEARS nothing happens, everyone just continues to use Windows.
Linux: little cheeky mf commits a backdoor, gets removed before it even makes it to production it's the fucking end of the world, open source software is doomed etc etc...

@singe @cody Oh this is one of the reasons shit hit the fan with wikileaks and they won't let it go on Assange as a state traitor: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/wikileaks-just-dropped-the-cias-secret-how-to-for-infecting-windows/
WikiLeaks just dropped the CIA’s secret how-to for infecting Windows

@Bibobu @singe @cody You’re welcome to your opinion of course, but in my view, the existence of some “Advanced Exploitation Research Group” or whatever they were calling it is evidence *against* a backdoor.
Most of this seems to be talking about toolkits for building post-exploitation implants that can hide from detection.

@marshray @singe @cody Sure. It depends how much you trust the CIA and all kind of point of view. I don't, but I am not from the USA so I might be biased.

@Bibobu @marshray @singe @cody It’s not about ‘trust’.
It’s about what the article says.

Maybe I missed it but no one has brought up the Solar Winds hack from a few years back.
