I'm not a project developer (in sf cb) and I opted-in, but I'm not sure if I'll have access to the C::B files from there.

I think practical. If I am to spread malware, then whom will I attack? Will I try to break into your PC and try to get my malware sent to the 10 people in your address book?
Or will I attack a computer which is used by 1000 developers who might be foolish enough to build packages which are then downloaded by 500.000 users? Think about it...

So clearly, the SF compile farm servers are a much more intersting target, and the threat is a lot higher. Also, do not be fooled by the fact that they run Unix. There are security holes in Unix too. Fewer than in Windows, sure, but Unix is not unbreakable, either. In particular if you are allowed to execute arbitrary software on the machine.

takeshimiya:
I challenge you to show me one case of malware in Compile Farm.
If we're going to be paranoid, there's more chance to get Yiannis' Windows infected when creating the win32 package, thanks to the autodownloaded windows worms when you don't have applied the latest security fixes.

Anyways, please stay on topic, no one here talked about creating packages from Compile Farm, we are talking about testing.
