Aren't there C interpreters still around?


How can you be sure there's no Ken Thompson Hack in the interpretor?


How would there be one? It's not like you can easily write a program that infiltrates a random program A that happens to interpret a language in which a random program B is written and infiltrates the B program afterwards. You'd probably need a general-artificial-intelligence-level in your malware.
