That's just sad
how did this happen? the linked thread show people identifying the infected packages and cleaning them up but no word about how it happened or how to prevent it.
A MitM attack defines the attack technique, not the target. It's when the target wants to connect to something but it connects through you first, and you forward while collecting/altering data. My question was about the attack used. But yeah, a mass takeover of everything orphaned would do it.
