Story doesn't mention whether Linux Mint normally supplies checksums (e.g., sha1sums) with the images and whether it has a public gpg key to sign downloads. (In fact, this intrusion was so sloppy that intruders didn't even bother to replace posted checksums, which IIRC are present along with a public signing key. Site appears to be offline ATM.) 2. Story therefore also doesn't mention whether the trojaned images match signing keys posted for them by the intruders. (Didn't happen.) 3. Story doesn't even attempt to address why users wouldn't become suspicious when the download links foe the Cinnamon edition (only) suddenly pointed to Bulgaria. 4. Story also fails to mention the one interesting bit, that remote attackers took advantage of a locally-unfixed bug in Wordpress to spawn www-data - owned processes under intruder control. In short, bad coverage as usual. _______________________________________________ hangout mailing list hangout-at-nylxs.com http://www.nylxs.com/ 2016-02-01 Ruben Safir <ruben-at-mrbrklyn.com> Subject: [Hangout-NYLXS] some insight 2016-02-01 Ruben Safir <ruben-at-mrbrklyn.com> Subject: [Hangout-NYLXS] getting out of the US 2016-02-01 Ruben Safir <ruben-at-mrbrklyn.com> Subject: [Hangout-NYLXS] Fwd: [Perlweekly] #236 -
