This is like saying someone uploaded malware to Github, therefore Open Source Software is insecure.
It would be like that if someone had put made-up information on a talk page or their user page. Information in the main namespace is supposed to be patrolled and checked for references, which is the point of the article. Your analogy is dishonest.
Great, another hitpiece by someone whose claim to fame is trashing on public work.

Or in terms of the GitHub analogy, this would be like malware making its way into somewhere like a distro’s package manager.
So, like npm…
Which is why NPM is such a terrible package manager and devs of mission critical codebases think twice about trusting it to not screw them over.
