- tehabe 9y agoThe original developer of Transmission and Handbrake are the same IIRC. I hope this is just a coincidence.
- tyingq 9y agoCoincidence seems unlikely, doesn't it? Same compromised admin level password, or same vector/hole in 2 places seems likely to me.
- dmix 9y agoCould be the same hacker just continuing to prod his lazy security practices. Or exploiting existing knowledge of his systems to bypass new layers. Or he exposed himself on criminal hacking forums as an easy mark. But this is purely baseless conjecture.
- closeparen 9y agoWere the posted checksums also replaced?
- galad87 9y agoNo, the website was not compromised.
