A user on the online forum 4chan has leaked a massive 270GB of data purportedly belonging to The New York Times. This leak includes what is claimed to be the source code for the newspaper’s digital operations.
That’s a really silly take … a Paywall is just an authorization mechanism.
That’s like saying the source code of lemmy leaks and you expect your account to be compromised any second.
I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?
I can give you 25 schmeckles.
I’ll sell it for cheaper!
Well, the open source code is less likely to commit “security through obscurity” than closed one.
