I'm guessing some poor typosquatter managed to hit a gov agency and is about to get alphabet soup all over him.

  “Get alphabet soup all over him” This is my new favorite alternative to “vanned” (or “v&”)

    I think I'm gonna snarf that one too. It's just too good.

      Think I’m gonna snarf snarf. Actually I just looked it up and apparently that word means to eat or drink greedily. Not sure why you used it here
      • nonethewiser 3y ago
        Well you certainly snarfed it up

          All of plan 9 uses "snarf" in place of "copy".

            Do they follow the Berne Convention on Snarfright?

    > “vanned” (or “v&”) Also note that the noun associated with being "vanned" would be a "party van", not just a "van". To be vanned/V& is to have the glowies inside the party van take the vanned party away. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/4chan-party-van https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/4chan-party-van

  More likely it is DRM-cracking packages.

  Putting my conspiracy hat back in the closet, I guess there is plausible reason to believe that someone used PyPI for fraud, CP distribution or some other crime.

    accusations and planting evidence are everyday things in some security circles.. plus idiots abuse open systems.. not proof of malfeasance, maybe just a "setup"
