Not discrediting Open Source Software, but nothing is 100% safe.

Unfortunately that is not the case. Closed sourced software for small communities are not safer. My company had an incredibly embarrassing data leak because they outsourced some work and trusted a software used also by the competitors. Unfortunately the issue was found by one of our customers and ended up on the newspapers.

Absolutely deserved, but still, closed sourced stuff is not more secure
