The packages were probably orphaned.

Were other possibly affected users informed?
I know that AUR users should follow aur-general, but maybe not everybody
does.
There are no comments in the other packages
and I don't see why the comment on acroread was edited like that (not
mentioning what the compromise was or what to look for).
