Oh oh... More than ever now, don't copy paste blindly from SO answers!
You'd have to copy/paste a serious chunk of code you don't understand to really cause any damage. I think this comment is either taking the pun or misguided.
I wonder why they are disclosing this so early, with so little information.

I think we've reached a point where it's safe to say that if you're using a service - _,any_ service - assume your data is breached (or willingly given) and accessible to some unknown third party. That third party can be the government, it can be some random marketer or it can be a malicious hacker. Just hope that you have nothing anywhere that may be of interest or value to anyone, anywhere. Good luck.
I've made it a point to start self hosting anything that's particularly sensitive that I don't want third parties to have access to. KeePass and SyncThing probably have my most important information, and it's all owned by me.

If the OpenSSL debacle taught us, open source and the fact that many people can look at the code does not mean it's actually being looked at. Don't get me wrong, still loads better than non-open source, but you're still face a huge risk. I'm slightly competent as a developer (not that much, just enough to barely get by) and still looking at the code base of the many apps, services and platforms I use, I'm astounded by the fact that I have no clue how they actually work, and if there is any obvious attack vector there. MOST people have even less of an understanding of all these than I do.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think this belief that personally run software is more secure than professionally run software is a bit optimistic.

Plus, both are great software. KeePass2Android is the best Android password manager, bar none.
