Did anyone have a system with the compromised xz binary on it?

We were super lucky someone stumbled upon this so early that the blast radius was rather small. I didn’t have any systems with it installed. What about y’all?

Also, I’d like to use this platform to say, this got caught because of open source. A lot of people are pointing to the compromise being the result of open source, which while true, ignores the fact that closed source software is just as susceptible to this attack with a much smaller group of people that could catch/prevent it.
