Agreed on all those fronts. I'm just dismayed by all the comments suggesting that maintainers just merged PRs with this trojan, when the attack vector implies a more mundane form of credential compromise (and not, as the article implies, AI being used to sneak malicious changes past code review at scale).
replyYeah, the attack vector seems to be stolen credentials. I would be much more interested in an attack which actually uses Invisible characters as the main vector.
