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?

This has absolutely not ever been the case.

Arch is simply getting popular enough to be targeted.

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.
