I was impacted. found weird spam repos that later were deployed on cloudflare redirecting my domains.

meanwhile the gitea running on my metalbox for nearly a decade has seen no compromise and 100% uptime when cloudflare has gone down repeatedly

im rethinking the whole "go where crowd is" , while great from evolutionary point of view, its the complete opposite. Where the crowd gathers online is the most dangerous place.

it's the same with linux viruses. they were always a possibility, but because linux is not popular, they were never an issue.

Linux is absolutely popular for servers. If you put a WordPress installation on the IPv4 address space, or any other kind of PHP you usually find a webshell has appeared after just a few minutes.

true, i get these attempts on my server daily. but here too you got less popular alternatives, so the same principle applies.
