XZ backdoor, you need to update

Yes, I’m still a week behind it seems, but this is OK. I’ve seen articles on this, and this is definitely something Linux people need to be concerned about.

This is a great primar on what happened, who might be involved, and what the community is doing.

This is not the only image that is up on Cybernews, in fact, this article is written similarly to Trend Micro when it comes to malware specific things.

Seems as though whoever was responsible quit contributing and someone malicious took over. The XZ Backdoor explained is the article and is worth the read.

Keep safe!
