Why are people reporting on this that have no understanding on the source material lol They are all so confused

Yeah why can't they report news as news without making fools out of themselves

The systems are open source for a reason. The powers that be want to take transparency away from the people so only they have control.

They didnt explain that the exploit was hidden inside a binary and therefore wasnt "open source" in the traditional sense

Today I entered a german supermarket, and saw a headline of the german counterpart of the British Sun. 'It was by half of a second - German saved the internet' I knew about the xz tools incident, but would never have guessed it was this what they meant.

Mock this all you want, half a second delay in computer time is a not so small eternity, it is noticable delay when using any internet based service, especially real time calls. Also "social engineering" is a form of "hacking a person" you don't need a computer for, ever heard of "phishing mails"? Well the evolved form is apparently called "spear phishing", such a mail is specifically tailored to YOU in order to maximise you clicking on a link etc. and basically invite teh "bad spirits inside" and just like such a spirit/fey/demon the hacker once inside can do as they please and if they are really patient, they can lurk for a year or two to maximise getting everything they need to basically rob you blind when a long holiday weekend is happening, this is a specific scenario because we already had that happen!
