    For an automated script to help you check, you can use https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check to see if you’re infected.

      Very useful, thanks.

      Came up clear, fortunately.

      Out of curiosity, did Arch send any notifications through pacman or anything? The first I heard of this was on Lemmy.

          Yeah…

          Im just thinking: I was just doing my usual Linux things, and happened to not be on a Lemmy binge, I wouldn’t have seen this. I barely missed it, but could have been infected and had no idea.
