[bitfolk] Re: Thoughts on tightening up Xen Shell's SSH (not yours - that's your business!)

I don't want to be paniced by this. Yes, a backdoor was sneaked into SSH. But it was found and removed. I'm pretty confident that a backdoor attempt will be made to something else in the future, but my guess is that SSH will not be the target: too many people will be watching. It might be useful to be able to block SSH access from certain regions (for example, China, Russia and MAGAland*) but to replace a simple, reliable system like SSH with a complex and therefore insecure web-page-based kludge feels like a leap in the wrong direction. It ain't broke: please don't fix it. *It isn't very likely, but it is possible that the USA will end up with either Trump as president, or in a modern civil war, some of which will be fought on the web.
