Whats the XZ thing? Im out of the loop
some rando gained the trust of the xz maintainer and tried to sneak in a very sophisticated backdoor. luckily caught, but i wonder if we had another project compromised and don't even know about it.
If you have an hour, this video from Veritasium about it is pretty good.
