I have been thinking about self-hosting my personal photos on my linux server. After the recent backdoor was detected I’m more hesitant to do so especially because i’m no security expert and don’t have the time and knowledge to audit my server. All I’ve done so far is disabling password logins and changing the ssh port. I’m wondering if there are more backdoors and if new ones are made I can’t respond in time. Appreciate your thoughts on this for an ordinary user.
That’s the neat part, we don’t!
…but, we at least can have a shot of finding them.
In the meantime, I’d advise you to keep an eye out and maybe look into threat models. As people said in this thread already, bad actors probably don’t care about your personal photos.
Unless OP is a celebrity or politician. Or knows they have an enemy with the resources to find and exploit potential backdoors.
