I use Malware BTW

replies:
Is this newly submitted packages which are malware, or existing packages which had malware introduced to them? And is there a list of affected packages anywhere?

It looks like they were existing packages.
List here: https://cscs.pastes.sh/raw/aurvulnlist20260611.txt
Got that from: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/aur-compromised-1500-packages-affected-20260611/31040
They have a script that can check if you have any of them.
They're existing packages that were abandoned by the original authors and then had ownership claimed by malicious parties
