It’s hosted on GitHub with ssl encryption and any changes would require someone to merge malicious code that would be obvious to any maintainer of the project. Everything is hackable to someone motivated and well funded but github should be pretty dang tough to penetrate.

That is assuming you would need to attack GitHub instead of just sending them a letter from a government office.

And that would then allow the attacker to…? Modify the code without a trace to intentionally insert malware? Access logs that don’t exist?
