A newbie wouldn't have been capable of doing this. The guy most likely knew what he was doing. In either case, only Parity was affected, so this is pretty much completely irrelevant to Ethereum as a whole.

You're probably right. The fact that ETH represents a system that any amateur, incompetent programmer or hacker can insert executable code into shouldn't matter to anyone. Roll Eyes

That's not what I've said at all. I've said that the person who did this probably knew very well what they were doing and wasn't some "random newbie" at all. And I've also said that Parity is not Ethereum itself, so if Parity fucks up it doesn't matter for Ethereum.
Which is basically the complete opposite of what you've taken from my post, unless you were being sarcastic and it went over my head...
