I have found an interesting video about the xz backdoor, which got discovered on Easter 2024:

The video starts with a jammed printer, but it is not my fault ...
I had also blogged about it, with a lot of interesting links:

The video, with its thumbnail telling that it is all about the XZ problem, started right away with that it all started with a jamming printer, so not knowing in these first seconds that they also explain the origin of FOSS, my first thought got "Was it me?" ... but seconds later I saw that it was about Richard Stallman. Both Richard and me, our work was triggered by printers, Richard created the concept of FOSS and I created OpenPrinting ... https://openprinting.github.io/OpenPrinting-News-September-2023/ #OpenPrinting
