Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor
tukaani.org
They haven't particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged it's happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them. Hope to hear more from them soon so we can find out more about the situation, how and why this happened, etc.
(The sceptical tone isn't because of disbelief of Collin, it's because we don't know enough about the situation to be able to say Collin is or isn't telling the truth here.)

Sorry to hear your situation. I've heard a similar story from a friend, where cronies bully one "colleague" after another to push that poor person to the edge. These morons climb the company's career ladder in that way, hacking the HR evaluation. It's truly disgusting.
Thanks for understanding. I didnt imagine a nice comment like this. :)
In fact it was my company and an employee who I trusted worked behind my back to take over. When that didnt work he took off with company assets.
Indeed, ugh, can I go on because it's too personal to me.
My personal feeling is that the high-level management of such companies are indeed crony-ists. To this type of morons, companies are just assets that are to be cracked down and shared by their prestigious celebrity network or whatever.
Well, this is a biased view, but I'm gonna soon find out how much this applies to my employer...
That doesn’t sound too great. I hope you all are going to be okay.
The top self-selects for the skill of climbing ladders.
