in the latest "the software supply chain is only as secure as the humans which review it" debacle, somebody installed a fake exodus wallet application from the snapcraft store, which was reviewed by nobody, and lost ~$490,000 dollars in bitcoin: popey.com/blog/2024/02/exodus-

h/t @popey

(also @davidgerard might be interested in reading about this incident)

@ariadne @davidgerard they are indeed looking at doing that. They have spoken to the FBI and are in contact with legal representation. I’ve seen a technical breakdown of the application and I suspect they could potentially even have enough to find the developer.
