Gehackte website Linux Mint wijst naar versie met backdoor

#1 Bericht door pa3kc »

De hackers schijnen via WordPress binnengekomen te zijn en zo hebben ze de links aangepast naar de ISO bestanden.

Men zegt als je op de 20e februari een ISO ge-downloaded had via hun site dat die besmet kan zijn.

Met name de Cinnamon editie ging het de hackers om.

Beware of hacked ISOs if you downloaded Linux Mint on February 20th!

I’m sorry I have to come with bad news.

We were exposed to an intrusion today. It was brief and it shouldn’t impact many people, but if it impacts you, it’s very important you read the information below.

What happened?

Hackers made a modified Linux Mint ISO, with a backdoor in it, and managed to hack our website to point to it.

Does this affect you?

As far as we know, the only compromised edition was Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon edition.

If you downloaded another release or another edition, this does not affect you. If you downloaded via torrents or via a direct HTTP link, this doesn’t affect you either.

Finally, the situation happened today, so it should only impact people who downloaded this edition on February 20th.
