What do y’all think is the motivation for this attack? The lulz? Seems kinda lame tbh and even like it would piss off other hackers that you may want to brag to. “I’m the guy who ddosed arch” “oh, fuck you”.
So is it maybe something more nefarious? Like testing the botnet’s capabilities? Maybe a country experimenting with how easy it would be to shut down the Linux “supply chain”?
Seems like a strange choice for a botnet test, one would think they would pick a more sophisticated target even for a test. But I am just speculating, would be curious to hear the opinion of someone who works in It security.
This is why we can’t have nice things
Plot twist: its just some guy who ordered his clanker to install Arch for him, because he cant be bothered to read.
This is such a real thing
