Free Download Manager site redirected Linux users to malware for years angielski

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/4810462

A reported Free Download Manager supply chain attack redirected Linux users to a malicious Debian package repository that installed information-stealing malware.

The malware used in this campaign establishes a reverse shell to a C2 server and installs a Bash stealer that collects user data and account credentials.

Kaspersky discovered the potential supply chain compromise case while investigating suspicious domains, finding that the campaign has been underway for over three years.

And we really only have a few reddit and stackexchange posts to verify that this is not a fake event?

This whole story looks like disinformation.

Really?

Cqrd,

Disinformation against who? Linux? lol

Kaspersky is fairly trusted in the security world for finding malware and attack vectors.

Man the year of the Linux desktop is rapidly approaching! We now have shady websites that offer the same content available in the operating system with less features, and costs money or spies on you.

Soon enough we’ll have browsers forced on it’s users! I can’t wait to feel like a true Windows user.

You know why we say it’s the year of the Linux desktop, every year?

Because every year is the year of the Linux desktop.

pimento64,

Bad news for the 3 or 4 people out there who didn’t just use the package manager to install everything.

Look, I was new to GNU+Linux computers. But it seems I was lucky not to get redirected to that malicious repo.

ArcaneSlime,

I’ve had to compile a few things I’ve needed that weren’t in my repos, like jackett, but I go to the project’s git.

odium,

I’ve been forced to install from a website for an uncommon printer driver. It was from the official canon website tho.

And because under Linux nobody uses websites to install software but just uses their package manager, nobody noticed until Kaspersky discovered it.
