Let's enable MFA for all Ruby gems

Supply chain attacks are getting more common. RubyGems might be next. Here’s how to help the ecosystem be safer.A few weeks ago, Axios, the popular HTTP client for JavaScript, suffered a supply chain attack on NPM. An attacker compromised the lead maintainer’s NPM account through social engineering and published two backdoored versions that delivered a cross-platform remote access trojan (RAT) to macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. Axios has over 100 million weekly downloads. The blast radius was enormous.
Not long before that, LiteLLM, a popular Python AI gateway, had a similar incident on PyPI. Compromised credentials were used to push malicious packages that harvested environment variables, SSH keys, cloud credentials, and database passwords.
