@emaste We are living in interesting times.

I guess FreeBSD is more resistant than Linuxes because it uses its' own build chain. I don't really know very much about FreeBSD. Maybe I should learn more.

@railmeat Yes, has bespoke build infrastructure for all of the "contrib" software in the base system (same as other BSDs). It's a lot of work and we didn't choose this path for security considerations, but it does mean we're not susceptible to this kind of attack.
