      Certainly not singular, but it’s very difficult to get away with this undetected because the end user gets physical access to the hardware.

        Linux is open source, and they had a malware for 10 years that was undetected.

        Having access means nothing if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Rootkits are serious problems.

            Which one? There was the 2020 one by winnti group that attacked Linux servers for a decade, and another in 2021/22 called symbiote, but I don’t know how long that one was hidden for.
