There are a lot or security holes regularly surfacing in all kinds of software. We don't even have the post mortem of the kernel.org compromise , as one example. Even some Debian servers got hacked. Open source helps but lets not pretend it's a panacea.

It's not all or nothing. Open source is better than close source for security auditing purposes, but of course open source alone is not enough, nor is it impervious to security flaws. It's just better than the alternative.
