i think honestly it’s the opposite. it still confuses me why meta invested so much in their pointless experiments (think any of their AR ventures) when their main source of revenue was, and continues to be, their boring advertising on consu

wow, this is actually a really impressive attack - a far cry from the obfuscated postinstall hooks seen a million times before. the only real long-term solution to node-based attacks like this is to run any remote code in a container, or
