Studie: Proprietäre Software kann nicht sicherer sein als Open-Source
Das Entwicklungsmodell an sich erlaube keine Aussage über die Sicherheit, lautet eine Experten-Analyse. Bei Open Source sei Sicherheit aber für jeden prüfbar.
@heiseonline der Artikel spricht genau das aus, was wir alle seit #Log4j, #Bonify und #MSCloud wissen: man weiß nichts, außer man hat selbst nachgesehen. Letzteres klappt bei OpenSource auch nur theoretisch.
So systemimmament und zwangsläufig diese Probleme bei #Software sind, ist es unerklärlichliches Mysterium, das es Branchen gibt, die funktionieren.
Nach meiner Einschätzung sind nicht nur große Teile der Microsoft-O365-Service kompromittiert, sondern auch alle Windows-Rechner, die damit verbunden waren. Ein Super-Gau epischen Ausmaßes - scheint vielen aktuell nicht klar zu sein. 🤷♂️ 👇
