Users can check if they’re already compromised with pacman -Q | grep alvr I think maybe? Also, several is an understatement since a huge number of packages use alvr as a dependency.
alvr as in the vr streaming program for standalone headsets? that’s kind of a niche among niches. Linux VR users with standalone vr headsets that use that specific method.
I panicked a bit when I saw the news earlier today as one of those niche guys. Then remembered I had removed it for WiVRn a few weeks ago and don’t have anything else off the AUR. Double niche win lol
EDIT: No, sorry, alvr was just one package, there is no specific source for the infection just one or many malicious users: https://gr.ht/aur_pkg_list.txt
Oh my, I’m new to Linux and I use CachyOS for my gaming rig at home. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing, but shit runs well and I’m happy about it. But how the hell do I check my noob ass if it’s compromised?!
