That’s a class of attacks that sudo doesn’t even pretend to address. I’m not championing sudo, but consider it as one piece of a “Defense in depth” approach.

I reread, can see that now. I think the commentor was speaking to a conversation that had shifted. I’ll leave my comment but also vote them up - theirs was a fair point.
