I’ve been using arch for nearly 2 decades at this point. It’s amazing that the AUR went this long without any serious attacks.
It’s a different world now. I can’t help but feel there used to be honor among hackers. You didn’t go after your own. What kind of jerk would attack Arch Linux?
Desktop Linux has always been a house of cards in regards to security. I agree it's amazing that it went on for so long, but this was inevitable.

This has absolutely not ever been the case.
