The only reason why xz got exposed was because someone noticed SSH was a bit slower and decided to take it to their own hands to investigate. It’s possible this backdoor would go unnoticed for far longer if the attacker didn’t make this slight oversight.
So it might be that there have been other, successful attacks before. It’s just that this one is the one that got exposed.

Slower as in 500ms slower iirc.
Linux users when bloat
tbh given the context 500ms is a lot.
Yeah. 500ms for ssh feels like an eternity.

The firewalls are all backdoored too!
Yes, that’s called NAT
