@davidbombal: You Use Arch Linux? You’re not IMMUNE! This video examines a recent security breach in the Arch User Repository (AUR) where three malicious packages uploaded on July 16, 2025, installed the Chaos Remote Access Trojan (RAT) on Linux devices. It walks through the attack timeline, explains how the packages fetched a malicious script from GitHub, covers the Arch Linux team’s removal of the offending packages on July 18, and offers best practices for auditing and hardening your system against future threats. #arch #linux #rat

Sir, could you please guide us on how to set up a VM that is isolated from the OS, so we can safely test malware for our lab? 🙏❤️

be careful when using AUR, and make sure to never use sudo when installing with yay.

A good reminder. I always assume that downloading from repos like the AUR or the apt repo are safe but I guess it's always good to be careful
