  • I would recommend to firstly check the update window for the package. It seems that these packages only contained the malware PKGBUILD for a certain time period, before the commit was reverted back by the arch/air devs.

    Then if you find youself infected, try

    1. Rotating the stored passwords on chromium/electron based browsers/apps.
    2. Rotate keys, (SSH, Cloud, Github etc).
    3. Backup your files, this is not a virus, so the file are safe.
    4. Reinstall the system from a live USB.
    5. FINALLY Nuke your house with a Hydrogen bomb.















  • I recently read an article from the creaters of PopOS. In that they raise a vaild point. If a child installs a virtualization software (say with the concent of an adult for educational purposes), then they can but browse internet through the VM, with them being the root user, pretending to be adults. It defeats the whole purpose of such verification methods. So their plan would to stick with ID based ones.

    I think this was never about age verification, but to uniquely fingerprint every person using internet and to keep accountability.

    Lets face it, the internet you knew is dead.
