The Arch Linux DevOps team has of the malware being added to a an remote-access trojan (RAT) that takes commands over the
Tor network and attempts to upload a wide range of user data.

and push malicious updates to them that would install malware on user
systems. AUR registration was reopened
on July 13 after the DevOps team added some minor, and apparently
ineffective, restrictions on creating new accounts.
