I'm not real clear on if this is the case but you could try:

  1. Have you installed or updated from the AUR before, such as with Yay? Specifically after June 5th? If so, check this list or the post above for a list of compromised packages. https://gr.ht/aur_pkg_list.txt

  2. Maybe pacman -Q | grep atomic-lockfile because that appears to be what the threat actor is installing but I'm not really sure if that's how it works...?

EDIT: If you really want to play it safe then you could try yay -R $(pacman -Qmq) to remove every aur package and wait out the storm, just be careful to backup important files.
