I love that no one would have caught the backdoor except some rando M$ employee noticed a half second delay in his connection during testing.
Makes you wonder how many backdoors (obfuscated and well hidden) have remained intact over the years.

Urgh this guy's videos are soo long and overdramatic.
This is the Wikipedia article he read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor?wprov=sfla1
at 26:10 it says redhat ships rhel and fedora. I'm 99% sure this is just wrong. Redhat doesn't maintain fedora, fedora is just a fork of rhel maintained by the community.
I was wondering about that too, but I guess it's a bit of both. From What's the difference between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Think about it like this. The Fedora project is the upstream, community distro of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux. Red Hat is the project’s primary sponsor, but thousands of independent developers also contribute to the Fedora project. Each of these contributors, including Red Hat, bring their own new ideas to be tested and debated for inclusion by the larger community into Fedora Linux. This also makes Fedora an ideal place for Red Hat to put features through its own distinct set of tests and quality assurance processes, and those features eventually get incorporated into a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It's right. While Fedora is a community project, Red Hat does hold a special place in it as its corporate sponsor. For example, the Fedora Project Leader position must be held by a Red Hat employee.
