If you recently used Cargo, make sure your system didn't get infected. Here is another article with a little more info: https://www.stepsecurity.io/blog/arrayref-rust-crate-supply-chain-attack

I just wanted to ask, how do they build C libraries in JAVA world? And if the answer is they don't, they just ship binaries, then that's infinitely worse. And you just confirmed that's the case 😲😄.

In reality it very rarely happens that native binaries are needed for Java. I’m not even sure what libraries might use them nowadays - I would guess mostly commercial closed source.

I don’t think it’s “infinitely worse”, but it does mean you require builds for whatever platform you are on or you need to manually build it from source as a separate project.

JVM, ELF, Mach-O,.... binaries are infinitely worse when the attack vector is "compromised dev machine".

I'm not sure how anyone would even try to argue against that.

Yep, it's all binaries.
