Malware Found in the Ubuntu Snap Store

Be warned that malware like this is in the AUR all the time. It's so common it's not even newsworthy. They are usually pretty good at handling it though.

I've never heard of this happening and I can't find a single occurrence of it. I mean, I agree with "don't blindly trust everything in the AUR", but this seems wrong.

I maintain 14 AUR packages and have also never heard of this happening.

Also, the aur community seems to be very active.
