    I’m pretty sure I heard a story about an open source Minecraft hack client that was openly stealing discord authentication tokens, and nobody noticed for weeks because the only people who check the source code are people who plan on modifying it

      But it was discovered. What if it was not open source?

      But in general open source means freedom. Freedom of not being subject to the developer’s choices, freedom to analyze the code etc
