Gonna take a bit. The dudes been doing the releases for over a year, everything they touched is suspect now even if nothing earlier is known. Also some other associated accounts have been doing shady stuff too.

And that’s just one project that had a burnt out maintainer who welcomed some help from this guy. There are probably others. The hobby project becoming a core piece is a big issue.

Yeah, it looks like that little Jenga block from the xkcd meme was XZ and a bunch of infrastructure is gonna have issues because of it.

gonna take even a bit more now. Github closed the account and project making it really difficult to see their commits and merges and analyze them.
