I'm not real clear on if this is the case but you could try:
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
Maybe
pacman -Q | grep atomic-lockfilebecause 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.
