Packagist: Packages.json is currently empty

This prevents us from installing packages.

$ composer require $SOMEPACKAGE

Tried from two different source IPs to rule out routing errors.

The packages.json seems to be back, but composer require still fails

  [Composer\Repository\RepositorySecurityException]

  the-middle attack. Try running composer again and report this if you think it is a mistake.

Worksforme after service nscd restart on Ubuntu (packagist.org IP needs to start with 144)

All systems have been restored and our DNS is updated with a 2min TTL so hopefully any future event we can react quicker. Sorry for the inconvenience and have a good day everyone.

Please don't forget to remove any /etc/hosts entries you made as they are not needed anymore.
