The "code audit" that you guys did to make sure nothing was backdoored was

else snuck in subtle bugs that you also didn't catch?

I'm sure it would have been extraordinarily difficult to run 'diff' on
the codebase before the intrusion and the one after, to see if any of
the changes weren't accounted for.
