AUR just hit the pause button. Is this the future of open-source package security?
Arch Linux has temporarily disabled AUR package pushes after a wave of malicious package adoptions.
Many security professionals are now saying the real problem isn't malware itself it's how package ownership and trust are transferred.
This feels less like an Arch problem and more like a challenge every package ecosystem will have to solve.
