This of course was a serious concern by any of the early adopters. It has been discussed in length on various mailing lists. But since the code is available it can and has been audited. Unless of course the Linux developers are collaborating with the NSA to take over your computer and they slipped us a mickey.

WE ARE THE NSA OF BORG. LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR DISKS. WE WILL ASSIMILATE YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS. YOUR PROCESSORS WILL BE ADAPTED TO SERVE OUR OWN. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
