[–] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (2 children) So 0.28% of the 140'000 packages? Seems like not that much.

Some random package like ten people have installed? Who cares. yay or spotify? We might have some problems. Edit: after looking at the list some look fairly concerning. I’d definitely be doing a diff on my packages and the list of the compromised packages if i used Arch, btw. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago unfortunately for some, it’s 100% of the 400 packages they use permalink fedilink source parent
