alt Hacker NewsI mean that proprietary software can be reverse engineered, there are many ways that this can affect vendors and end users. Both your examples could be some attack vectors.
Think more broadly than Adobe and any company that relies on a software product could have their business model destroyed overnight. More broadly than that, you could rupture trust between suppliers and vendors if they don't know who's really making requests from a proprietary platform that's been compromised unknowingly.
But thats just good old hacking, you can already see where software connects and try to see if you can get in.
I'm much more worried about AI made software that is developed so quickly that nobody knows what it does, pdfcraft was published a week ago and it has had 5 releases since then.
