Okay, how, could someone like Jia Tan sneak code into a codebase where commits can only be made by authenticated users with staff accounts on a private network?

Versus… a random email offers to help, someone says “sure!”, and… that’s it. That’s the entire hurdle.

Google did discover a Chinese hacker working for them on the payroll. That kind of thing does occur, but it’s rare.

It’s massively harder and more risky.
