Okay so have you checked all of the apt repos you've added to sources over the years or has one of the ppa's changed to something malicious?


I've added exactly 0 apt sources, precisely because relying on ppas and the like is terribly, terribly insecure. Allow some random person to run code on my machine as root — that's insane.


I use Arch and only official sources, that are checked over and signed by a small well-trusted team[1]. Nothing like npm's model.
