🤓 I was one of the technical reviewers for the latest @veritasium video on the XZ backdoor.

It brought me back to the four days without sleep I spent analyzing this case!

They did a great job making the story accessible and keep the technical accuracy 👏

@fr0gger they really did a wonderful job in explaining the technicalities. As they always do! I remember hearing about this attack back then, but i hadn't realized how bad it was. And it's super weird for me that you can still find the commits on GitHub, it's like seeing physical proof of some government conspiracy
@msx Yes the video is awesome :)
