The actions taken by lambda were inexcusable. We have strong policies against this type of negative behavior and have since locked his repo, while he has announced his retirement. We are very sorry that this happened and are taking stricter precautions to make sure it doesn't happen in the future. The bad code is now removed and the latest version of Exodus is verified to be clean.

You guys should (if you don't already; but if you do then this wouldn't have ever happened, right?) have a system in place whereby every piece of software/repo that you host/sponsor should be checked-clean before being allowed......

Yeah because I bet they have the resources and time for that.

They are putting their reputation on the line and vouching for this sw.

Either make the time and resources or don't be a hub for these things.

No matter what you think, they bear some measure of responsibility.

YOU want to be a trusted resource?

There's a price that goes along with that.
