The Linux Mint blog announces that the project'sweb site was compromised and made to point to a backdoored version of thedistribution. "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."Update: it appearsthat the Linux Mint forums were compromised too; users should assume thattheir passwords have been exposed.
