Hacked the Linux Mint website: malware ISO

With an announcement that no one expected, Clement Lefebvre, head of Linux Mint , δήλωσε ότι η ιστοσελίδα του Linux Mint είχε παραβιαστεί και ότι οι hackers κατάφεραν να πειράξουν, και να διαθέσουν ένα κακόβουλο ISO του Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon.Linux Mint

If you download the Cinnamon version before Saturday and download it from HTTP link you are in danger.

It is worth noting that since the violation has been revealed, malicious ISO has been removed so it is safe to download the files again.

Posting to blog από τον Lefebvre εξηγεί πώς οι χρήστες μπορούν να ελέγξουν την υπογραφή MD5 για κάθε ISO που νομίζουν ότι μπορεί να είναι "πειραγμένο."

Users now discovering that they have downloaded an infected ISO are advised to immediately delete it, format the USB that passed the file, or throw away the DVDs that burned it.

Για όσους χρησιμοποίησαν το ISO για να εγκαταστήσουν το λειτουργικό σύστημα στον υπολογιστή τους, τα πράγματα είναι πολύ πιο επικίνδυνα...

If you are one of them, you should proceed directly to the following steps:

Take off your computer offline.
Take backups to personal,
Reinstall the operating system (from a clean ISO) or format the partition,
Change them all ς πρόσβασης που χρησιμοποιούσατε στον υπολογιστή σας, στο Web, και ειδικά σε λογαριασμούς ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου.
