Age Verification Code Pushed to Major Linux Distributions in Social Engineering Campaign
A developer named Dylan managed to push age verification code into systemd, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux distributions by exploiting trust relationships with Microsoft employees who had commit access. Despite calling the effort 'hilariously pointless' in the pull request itself, systemd maintainer Lennart Poettering blocked attempts to revert the changes.
