xz Utils Backdoor
🥷 About 2 weeks ago I heard tech colleagues of mine from work talking about something around an open-source malicious code, but they were assuming that everyone knew about it (I didn't) - I kept myself quiet and just wrote a note to research later and be "an insider" too - Later I tried to find, but no luck.To my surprise I came across several articles this week mentioning about this issue, and I connected the dots. I did my reading and found out more details. Now I feel like "an insider" too.
This is an article that talks about what happened. Very interesting to see such a long-term plot being put in motion by maybe one single individual, or maybe a group of hackers.

🛂 I love Brazil but I hate its bureaucracy! There should be a ranking of the hardest countries to renew passports. Brazil would be at the top. I just went through my two daughter’s passport renewal - it was brutal!
