Dear all, read this a couple of hours ago while you guys, hopefully, at
sleep in Japan.
Quoting "SlashDot" original text:
"The Linux Mint website was hacked last night and was pointing to
malicious ISOs that contained an IRC bot known as TSUNAMI, used as part
of an IRC DDoSing botnet. While the Linux Mint team says they were
hacked via their WordPress site, security experts have discovered that
their phpBB forum database was put up for sale on the Dark Web at around
the same time of the hack. Also, it seems that after the Linux Mint team
cleaned their website, the hackers reinfected it, which caused the
developers to take it down altogether."
Thanks. Ferunando.
