More than one exploit released by the shadow brokers was specifically targeted at Linux/Unix/Cisco and other operating systems... Its naive to think that other operating systems are somehow invulnerable to nation-state attackers.

Yes but at least with open source software, you have a fighting chance of knowing what you're running.

What's the open source equivalent of DUAL_EC_DRBG or Kaspersky Anti-Virus?
