Yeah.
Right now it kinda feels to me like "Open Source" is the Russian army, assuming their sheer numbers and their huge quantity of equipment much off which is decades old.
Meanwhile attackers and bug hunters are like the Ukrainians, using new, inexpensive, and surprisingly powerful tools that none of the Open Source community has ever seen in the past, and for which it has very little defence capability.
The attackers with cheap drones or LLMs are completely overwhelming the old school who perhaps didn't notice how quickly the world has changed around them, or did notice but cannot do anything about quickly enough.
