The biggest growing concern is that many open-source projects are maintained by just 1-2 people, who themselves become targets of capitalists trying to take down such competitors by hacking their accounts. Even GitHub is no longer safe; I now download 2-3 versions away from the latest version of each project and read up on clamor first, just in case.
