The app made it onto the OSX App Store and the author's certs were revoked. This isn't a case of verify source, verify application. This is a case of anything can be infected and it's damn near impossible to check everything.
- jads 11y agoTransmission wasn't on the Mac App Store, though the app was signed. Apple offers developers the ability to sign their apps distributed outside the Mac App Store to certify them as an Apple-identified developer https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/C... As such, checking the source is still very much relevant here since this wasn't a compromised app in the Mac App Store, it's an app distributed outside it.
