[QUOTE="redsworn, post: 741394, member: 68166"] That's the thing about open source project. I have a long battle against people who are so adamant that open source = secure. No. It's not. Open source doesn't automatically make software safe and secure to use. This is particularly true for project that relatively new and/or not popular. Now on to your question. [LIST=1] [*]Of course it's very possible [*]I'd say it's unlikely. Most of the time, the risks are on users. Unless there's some sort of exploit on their system that allow 3rd party tools like this to do nasty things [/LIST] I don't have any knowledge about this project in question. But if the number you stated above is accurate then we can assume the project is safe to use. I'd be shocked if nobody (from that number) actively watching the project. [/QUOTE]
