    Seeing how this has happened to the Snapstore, I would say that probably flathub should also be very wary of malicious tampering of their packages in the near future.

    There’s no telling how these hackers might try to reuse the same strategy with other distribution stores, as well

      Yep. Just about any distribution of software has this risk. Pip and the NPM one are notorious for this type of thing.
