schestowitz                    <p>The well-known log4j security vulnerability of December 2021 triggered a lot of renewed discussions around software supply chain security, and sometimes it has also been said to be an Open Source related issue.</p>Jan 18 09:07

schestowitz                    <p>This was not the first software component to have a serious security flaw, and it will not be the last.</p>Jan 18 09:07
schestowitz                    <p>This is the 10,000 dollar question that is really hard to answer. In this post I hope to help putting some light on to why it is such a hard problem. This comes from my view as an Open Source author and contributor since almost three decades now.</p>Jan 18 09:07
schestowitz                    <p>In this post I’m going to talk about security as in how we make our products have less bugs in the code we write and land on purpose. There is also a lot to be said about infrastructure problems such as consumers not verifying dependencies so that when malicious actors purposely destroy a component, users of that don’t notice the problem or supply chain security issues that risk letting bad actors insert malicious code Jan 18 09:07
