The best way to learn

👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.

“The best way to learn is to just go out and make stuff, collaborate with people who are better than you at different things, and experiment.”

“That’s what I’ve found, at least. Just be around people who are awesome and learn off them. Trade ideas around and try stuff.”

“Everything I do, I’ve learned from friends, collaborators, people I look up to, and personal experiments. Just going out and trying stuff.”

crates.io phishing attempt

Earlier this week, an npm supply chain attack.

It’s turn for crates.io, the main public repository for Rust crates (packages).

The phishing e-mail looks like this:

A phishing e-mail: Important: Breach notification regarding crates.io  Hi, BurntSushi! We recently discovered that an unauthorized actor had compromised the crates.io infrastructure and accessed a limited amount of user information. The attacker's access was revoked, and we are currently reviewing our security posture. We are currently drafting a blog post to outline the timeline and the steps we took to mitigate this. In the meantime, we strongly suggest you to rotate your login info by signing in here to our internal SSO, which is a temporary fix to ensure that the attacker cannot modify any packages published by you.

And it leads to a GitHub login page that looks like this:

Several maintainers received it — the issue is being discussed on GitHub.

The crates.io team has acknowledged the attack and said they’d see if they can do something about it.
