The popular open-source cloud storage application Alist is rumored to have been acquired by Bujouge Technology (Guizhou) Co., Ltd., with the original developer Xhofe becoming inactive on relevant social platforms. To date, there has been no definitive announcement regarding the future status of the project as open-source, fueling anxieties among users, particularly over the possibility of supply chain attacks. Bujouge Technology's previous acquisition of the Java tool library Hutool, which garnered mixed reviews within the open-source community, adds to these concerns. Given this scenario, it is advisable for users to temporarily halt updates to Alist to mitigate potential security risks.
