Moq now ships with a closed-source obfuscated dependency that scrapes your Git email and phones it home (github.com)

Also some fun takeaways: it also makes external calls to azure to load configuration and stays silent after updating for 2 weeks before showing warnings.

Moq is unusable. Needs to be forked or repoaced. Time to switch to NSubstitute.

Dev is still defending his action and apparently believes he's done nothing wrong. Harvesting developers email and extorting them by sabotaging builds is no big deal.

Absolute clown. OSS needs a better solution to funding devs hard work, but it is not a vehicle for an egomaniac to get rich.

I'm still pro-not mocking. Maybe this is a good opportunity to stop using so many mocks in our tests, and write validation on the actual behavior of your code.
