Abstract
To kick-start the discussion, let's first review some of the recent attacks. In the node-ipc case1 a developer pushed an update that deliberately but stealthily included code that sabotaged the computer of the users who installed the updated component. Such an attack was selective: a DarkSide in reverse. If the computer Internet Protocol (IP) was geolocated in Russia, the attack would be launched. Several days and a few million downloads later, the spurious code was actually noticed and investigated. Linus's law on the many eyes eventually made the bug shallow,2 and the developer pulled back the changes.
