Ask HN: is Nginx trusted?

No, the Russians have mot backdoored nginx.

The source code is available, so theoretically you could check.

I think you probably have to worry more about the general security of your servers. Its really quite easy to do something stupid which can leave you exposed.

Im sure the russians have better things to be doing rather than looking at you (no offence).

I just use it to proxy my static resources.
