The “Atomic Arch” campaign compromised over 1,500 AUR packages between June 10-12, targeting SSH keys and API tokens. If you updated via yay or paru during that window, you need to audit your local system.
I’ve built a client-side tool to help with this.
Local Processing: Your package list never leaves your browser. All comparisons are done client-side.
Live Data: It fetches the verified malicious list directly from the official Arch servers (md.archlinux.org) to ensure it’s always current. Zero Bloat: No trackers, no ads, no cookies. How to use:
- Run pacman -Qm
- Paste the output into the tool



This dipshit (me) hasn’t reinstalled their OS since 2014. Not Arch btw.
But if my OS was affected by a supply attack like this, I wouldn’t trust the analysis on which packages were affected and which weren’t so I’d likely nuke and pave as all my and my family data is here.
If your current system were affected by a supply attack, then you would reinstall your system too. I use Arch[1], BTW and did not reinstall the system.
