  The details of origin and motives of the attack, along with mitigation tactics, are, understandably, being kept under wraps while the investigation continues

  I hope they’ll disclose at least the origin, and what they think their reasons are, when it’s over.

  I’m curious about who would attack Arch and why.

  Watch it be some AI crawler that’s trying desperately to figure out how to install Arch and free itself lol

  Attacking a community project like that is pretty scummy, tons of people rely on it and I can’t imagine there’s much to be gained from doing this

    (if that’s intentionally) They are probably testing their capabilities.
