    Not a “back door” by my definition. The title of the article makes it sound like these operating systems have had a back door built-in in and it was only discovered now.

      right ! … and this makes “arstechnica[.]com” clickbaity and it’s source “intezer” as well.
      wtf, are some security groups run like inside the Dilbert comic strip ?

      Edit after @CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml comments below and above mine :
      Oups, my bad, it says :
      Backdoor for (W… and) Linux …
      it does not say :
      Backdoor in (W… and) Linux …

      “Intezer said that may be an indication the file masqueraded as a type script app spread after being sneaked into the npm JavaScript repository.”

      The article doesn’t say the developers leave the back door.
