While doing a `guix pull` on the GNOME terminal, I noticed this:

The suspicious text did get into my bash history, so it may be
completely unrelated to `guix pull`. It's possible that they hacked my
keyboard input or the clipboard.

This appears to be the biggest security breach on a GNU system that
I've ever seen in my life. Does anyone know what's going on?

I did happen to watch a PewDiePie video [0] last night where he talks
about a virus that forces printers to print a message about him. The
above text does not appear in the printer virus's message, so it may be
unrelated. I have not rebooted since watching that video.
