A phishing attack has targeted maintainers of projects hosted on https://pypi.org. This attack comes less than two months after PyPI announced a plan to require 2FA for "critical" packages. The PyPI admins have taken down malicious releases including several "typosquat" packages, and temporarily frozen affected maintainer accounts. Additionally, they have extended the 2FA security key giveaway to include eligible maintainers that already have TOTP-based 2FA enabled on their accounts. At the end of the Twitter thread, the PyPI team reminds users to contact security@pypi.org if they believe they have been targeted by a phishing attack.

Python's position w/e but I would like to learn more about why it's not as appealing as SQL/Java in job hunt, especially when we have solid ORMs. (The Java thing is just legacy IMHO)
