As we continue to investigate the security incident, we have decided to lift the restriction on new snap name registrations.
Instead, we will be conducting daily reviews of new snaps being uploaded. We will flag, investigate and take down any snap that looks suspicious.
We are taking this action to remove friction from the snap publishing experience, whilst still closely monitoring what is being uploaded on a regular basis.
We are discussing methods to prevent situations like these happening in future and provide a safe, trusted experience to our users. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
