Are steps being taken to address this? If so, how do I make my
information available?

I am told Dennis Ritchie once posed this at a conference:
Proove, conclusively, the original C compiler - distributed in
binary form - didn't contain an adapting, self-propagating,
and self-concealing virus that has infected every executable
compiled with that executable, including descendant compilers,
/ad infinitum/.
Last I heard no one had done so. I'd be happy to be prooved
wrong.
Respectfully,
