http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994 Quotes: "Beware of hacked ISOs if you downloaded Linux Mint on February 20th!" "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." "Hackers made a modified Linux Mint ISO, with a backdoor in it, and managed to hack our website to point to it." "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." "The hacked ISOs are hosted on 5.104.175.212 and the backdoor connects to absentvodka.com." "Both lead to Sofia, Bulgaria, and the name of 3 people over there. We don’t know their roles in this, but if we ask for an investigation, this is where it will start." -- bleak_fire_ since nine-seven
