    If this was 10 years ago I’d change my profile picture on Facebook to mark myself safe from the AUR malware.

    For those who only have a few AUR packages installed, if you looked at the list and are still concerned, you can view the changelog at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=yourpackagenamehere. If it was secretly malicious but got missed, you’d see it there.

    So 0.28% of the 140’000 packages?

    How many malicious packages are on Googles Play Store?
