Oh my, I’m new to Linux and I use CachyOS for my gaming rig at home. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing, but shit runs well and I’m happy about it. But how the hell do I check my noob ass if it’s compromised?!
I’m not real clear on if this is the case but you could try:
Have you installed or updated from the AUR before, such as with Yay? Specifically after June 5th? If so, check this list or the post above for a list of compromised packages. https://gr.ht/aur_pkg_list.txt
Maybe pacman -Q | grep atomic-lockfile because that appears to be what the threat actor is installing but I’m not really sure if that’s how it works…?
EDIT: If you really want to play it safe then you could try yay -R $(pacman -Qmq) to remove every aur package and wait out the storm, just be careful to backup important files.
