    Open source software is safe because so few people use it it’s not worth a hacker’s time to break into it (joking, but of course that doesn’t apply to server software)

      Honestly, for some software this is the answer. The other one with hackers is that it’s usually easier to trick an employee into giving you the master password than finding an obscure exploit in their codebase, though it does still happen.
