Description:
I'm on a holiday and only happened to look at my emails and it
seems to be a major mess. Lasse Collin The reality that we are struggling with is that the free software
infrastructure on which much of computing runs is massively and
painfully underfunded by society as a whole, and is almost entirely
dependent on random people maintaining things in their free time
because they find it fun, many of whom are close to burnout. This
is, in many ways, the true root cause of this entire event. Russ Allbery Incredible work from Andres. The attackers made a serious
strategic mistake: they made PostgreSQL slightly slower. Thomas
Munro There is no way to discuss this in public without turning a single
malicious entity into 10000 malicious entities once the
information is widely known. Making sure the impact and mitigations are known before posting
this publicly so that everyone knows what to do before the 10000
malicious entities start attacking is just common sense. Marc Deslauriers
