They should straight up take it down. This is affecting their distro's, and Linux's reputation.
Anyone infected is at their own fault. Literally every single ressource and official statement is "read the diff of what you execute", which would prevent 100% of the attacks.
I'd rather not get cut off from my regular updates for some idiots who can't read or think rules don't apply to them. And yes, people who don't understand the PKGBUILD format shouldn't use the AUR on their own.
Peak Linux nerd shit.
People just want their updates to work and you're out here screeching that users are holding it wrong and to read a bunch of diffs 🤣
LOL!
All these Arch fanboys just can't accept ANY criticism of their favourite Linux flavour. "IT'S THE BEST OKAY? EVERYBODY SAYS SO! IT'S THE BEST BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO USE AND ALL THE SOFTWARE IS BLEEDING EDGE AND MY SYSTEM BREAKS HALF THE TIME I DO AN UPDATE BUT THAT'S NORMAL LINUX SHIT OKAY? AND I USE THE AUR BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING EVEN THOUGH MY SYSTEM IS INFECTED OKAY?"
