Re:Malicious software libraries found in PyPI posing as well... by zzzeek on Friday September 15, 2017 @08:05PM (#15261874)
If 100k packages are already security audited by the community.. Then what's the issue? They send them to dstufft, he takes them down (which of course does not actually happen because nobody is auditing most packages). As mentioned elsewhere, most contributors to pypi have only one package so the notion of "find one rogue package == dozens of untrustworthy packages removed in one swoop" doesn't really exist (esp because a rogue agent would be making one account / key per package just to avoid this kind of detection!)
