    Just imagine this could’ve been another solarwinds attack.

    I’m really interested to see any and all threat correlations behind this. Was it a failed nation state attack? What, and by extension who, were they targeting, etc.

    The choice to specifically target Fedora and Debian is interesting, but maybe it was purely due to user base size and maybe not something more specific than that
