APTs probably routinely identify and target such developers. With multi-million dollar payouts for single bugs and high state level actor attention, employee profiling is clearly a known attack vector and internal security teams probably now brief on relevant opsec. FWIW the only Apple kernel developer I knew has somewhat recently totally removed themselves from LinkedIn.

People who work on the kernel are not hard to find.

People pretend that bugs don't exist.

Not the software kind, the good old listening devices.

There's a deep tool chest of spying. Heck, remember when keyboard presses were harvested through a wall? That was at least a decade ago. I think audio of key presses can be disambiguated.
