Yes, I suppose the only way that this would not be an issue is if the aliens are travelling at a very high fraction of the speed of light and inflation means that they will never reach spatially distant parts of the Universe in time for this to be an issue.
In SETI-attack, is the idea that the information signals are disruptive and cause the civilisations they may annihilate to be too disrupted (perhaps by war or devastating technological failures) to defend themselves?
The idea is that aliens purposely send dangerous AI-code aimed on self-replication and transmitting the code farther. There are a lot of technical details how it could happen, which I described in the recently published article, available here: https://philpapers.org/rec/TURTRC
