Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Urban Hacker about the infamous XZ backdoor incident by which a key piece of software in the Linux kernel was nearly hijacked. The attacker spent four years slowly ingratiating himself into the small community, which had been selected precisely because it consisted of a single burned-out developer. Follow us as we unravel this bizarre and disturbing story of premeditated digital attack and what it means for free and open-source software and our own cybersecurity.
