This is an EXCELLENT example of one of the strengths of Open Source Development

Funnily enough it was the non-free-as-in-religion^* tool which some Open Source developers use that allowed for such a quick discovery of the attack.

Kudos to Larry and his justifiably paranoid cross checks.

^*Or, free as in assembly₊, free as in association, free as in bearing arms, etc. There are more freedoms than speech.
