Arch contributors are cleaning up a malware incident in the AUR after suspicious updates appeared across several user-maintained packages.

    I know some on Lemmy here use the RuneScape launcher.

      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.

      I miss the browser, but luckily I haven’t played RS since the new CEO cancelled new Pride Events right after the Trump Admin was reelected.
