Friends of mine that use CachyOS - PLEASE READ THIS, this has a higher chance of affecting you more than anything and it is a REAL issue.
the Arch User Repository (AUR) is infected with some nasty malware that can potentially steal extremely important data (namely SSH keys and browser sessions)
What in the entire fuck is going on with the AUR, how did this happen and over what period of time?
Always be so careful and check your package manager of choice on the web for urgent news like this - it happens too often.
This infected package list is SCARY. It's some real daily driver shit.

Looks like the Arch Linux AUR (Arch User Repository) needs some better security and package checks - as some malicious users compromised a lot of packages.
