    My goal (as it turns out) is simply to point out that any site that includes third party code is alarmingly vulnerable, in a completely undetectable way.

"Any site that includes third party code is drearily vulnerable in a myriad of detectable, undetectable, expected, unexpected, testable, untestable and downright random ways," said the 1 in 4 websites on the Internet running Wordpress.

We found a damn bitcoin miner running on ours a few years back. And when fucking Equifax leaks the data for like half of the United States it's really hard to get all pantytwisted over "ZOMG don't run third party packages they might steal your data!"
