gollark: PwnCC *said* something about a zero-day, but I'm not entirely sure about that one since it was never demonstrated. I still don't recommend running it except on stuff you don't need much and can easily stick in a disk drive for formatting.
gollark: I meant "probably nobody bothered much".
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I do think it's at least resonably secure though.
gollark: Yes, yet indeed.
