Arch website and services under DDoS attack

Aha lately I read Arch AUR is increasing malware on the AUR repositories, I’m not surprised to read Arch server are under attack.

I personally took this decision as well. I’m stable on Fedora.

  • Arch: a distro for geek without a central point of distribution. You need to choose every package you want to install into. (and pray something won’t get broken :slight_smile: )

I was right couple of months ago: the Arch AUR repository is allowing packages from all users around the world and it would be hard keeping all under control byt he mantaiers. Using Arch nowdays it might be dangerous❗
