Did One Guy Just Stop a Huge Cyberattack? - Lemmy.World

You’re late to the party NYT.

Also, dude made a good save. Only arch users got hit lol

Fedora 40 testing branch and rawhide got it as well, as well tumbleweed and debian sid

And how many people actually use those? Arch got hit the hardest

Ok that’s a bad joke. The exploit targeted Debian, Ubuntu and RHEL

I was on Fedora Kinoite testing compose when it hit… so me
You were not the target. The idea probably was to get it pushed into downstream over a longer period

I understand that the Linux ecosystem in general was ultimately the target, yes.

I was answering “how many people use those?”
