  • Beware, Feb 20th Linux MINT ISOs had trojan in them!

    Surprised this hasn't been posted here yet...

    Last night, the Linux Mint team announced that someone had hacked their servers and started pointing user downloads to malicious ISO images for the Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon edition. Our Linux editor already covered the initial details of the attack, which we recommend reading before going forward with this article.
