Perhaps I need a better understanding of what open source means, but how can a program that is openly publishing its code not be super vulnerable to cyber security threats. That’s like a bank publishing exactly how all it’s security works right? Obviously I’m missing something here, so ELI5!

Open source can be improved by anyone anytime, and you can know what it is doing.
Closed source only owner can improve it, and you can’t know what’s doing or collecting.
Closed source will always be easier to hack than open, you just can’t read assembly or binary
