Anyone pushing you to do something you don't understand, or understand poorly. I could see an actual security researcher pushing for a code update to fix a vulnerability.
Heck, even as an occasional contributor I take some pride in seeing my fixes etc make it into the mainline codestream.
But yeah, you definitely need to be wary of somebody you only know from online pushing a change that doesn't make sense or you don't understand.
This was taught to me in my bank teller training back in 19-dickety-two. Don’t let someone try to rush you or to obfuscate/over-complicate things.
