Once upon a time, there was a successful e-commerce company called BITLA, known for its wide range of products and excellent customer service. Among its talented employees was Fany, a developer passionate about open-source technology. Fany firmly believed in the power of open-source software to accelerate development and drive innovation.
One day, while working on a new feature for theย BITLAย website, ๐

At first, the new feature worked perfectly and earned praise from both customers and her superiors for its quick and effective implementation. However, a few weeks later, problems began to emerge.ย ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ.
Theย BITLA security team was called in to investigate and discovered ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง-๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ.
This backdoor allowed malicious actors to access sensitive customer data and execute fraudulent transactions. The discovery was devastating: the personal and financial information of thousands of customers had been compromised.
News of the breach spread quickly, severely damaging BITLA ‘s reputation. Customers lost trust in the company, and many decided to switch to other e-commerce sites.ย BITLAfaced investigations by authorities and lawsuits from affected customers.
Fany felt overwhelmed with guilt. She had underestimated the importance of thoroughly vetting and testing every software component, regardless of its popularity or apparent safety. To make amends, she worked closely with the security team to remove the compromised library and implement more stringent security measures.

Thanks to Fany’s dedication and the security team’s efforts,ย BITLAย gradually regained the trust of its customers. The company invested in training and awareness on cybersecurity, ensuring that all employees understood the importance of a careful and diligent approach to using open-source software
