pretty crazy to see these sorts of worms, I think it's probably a good thing that we start to examine the "supply chain" of open source software and figure out ways to prevent this sort of attack.

Timing was definitely smart on the part of the attacker, heading into Thanksgiving in the US means a lot of people in vacation mode, probably not even realizing this is happening right now.
