Oh?

Edit: please explain. What other community has this rate of attacks? It's possible they are just detected or publicized less, too. Please help me understand what you're referring to.

I'd also like to know who monitors the casualties.
some Pipy packages were also attacked recently. And is even more vulnerable due to many projects using requirements.txt which doesn’t lock sub dependencies
Sure, but the Python community isn't the paragon of software risk management excellence you may think it is.

Both Python and Node users (metaphorically) asked for a loaded revolver... They got a metaphorical high yield thermonuclear device with a large blast radius. (And then they skipped the safety tutorial for the B-83 they just bought.)
