Even if they contract it out, at $350/hr (which is not a price that would raise any flags), that is less that $750k. Even with a fancy office, couple of laptops and 5' monitors, this is less than a day at the bombing range or a few minutes keeping an aircraft carrier operational.
Even a team of 10 people working on this - the code and social aspect - would be a drop in the bucket for any nation-state.
This is only evidence that libsystemd is popular. If you want to 0wn a bunch of systems, or even one particular system but make it non-obvious, you choose a popular package to mess with.
BeOS isn't getting a lot of CVEs attached to it, these days. That doesn't mean its good or secure, though.
Hicks has what would otherwise be an impressive ability to say absolutely nothing, even when responding to direct questions. He describes the RH purpose as "a north star", which is about as useful as the real cowboy in City Slickers saying "one thing"; its circus tent level preaching of empty platitudes. He believes going from intern to CEO was something other than luck, which is about the most dangerous position I can imagine. Zero humility, zero self awareness.
He is Elon, if Elon was slightly less crazy and ran only one company.
Jim Whitehurst was such a good CEO. I honestly had hoped he would take over as IBM CEO, but no, that would have been to good a move for IBM. So they pushed him out.
Very little. At least, not yet. RHers have access to IBM hotel/flight rates, but not even IBM email/calendar directories let alone even basic "everyone" wikis and document dumps.
