0xthr0w4··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
Out of curiosity I looked at the list of followers of the account who committed the backdoor.

Randomly picked https://github.com/Neustradamus and looked at all their contributions.

Interestingly enough, they got Microsoft to upgrade ([0],[1]) `vcpkg` to liblzma 5.6.0 3 weeks ago.
