Let's keep in mind that if this is a state actor or some sort of global organized crime, then they don't put all their eggs into one basket. If that's the case, they're going to have a bunch of other plans and backdoor attempts ongoing. This isn't the end and we can assume there's something else somewhere that went unnoticed.

Security is a constantly changing war of attrition, not a goal/product/configuration.

If anything it highlights how great open source actually is when it comes to security. People saw it and immediately flagged it.

Dude, the issue was found purely by coincidence, it very nearly made it through

Yes, but it didn’t. Has it made it through on closed software? Who knows?

My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through? I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(
