Bit of a strange article. This is neither targeted nor limited to Rust, we've seen reports here of this happening over at Ruby and Node lately just as well, and I'm sure other ecosystems are also being attacked, just without as much noise.

This is intended to warn prominent Rust community members. There was also a post in an internal Zulip channel for Rust project members which are at greater risk.

It's called clickjacking.

Personally I appreciate when things are written in plain language rather than using insider jargon, even when the intended audience likely knows what the jargon means.
