Same thing has happened before – companies bundling malware with their own BitTorrent clients.
For example, in 2016. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3114134/bittorrent-client-is-found-distributing-mac-based-malware.html https://www.pcworld.com/article/3114134/bittorrent-client-is...
I think any blockchain companies have nothing much relevance here.
And I guess what the top-most commenter was calling for was that BitTorrent the company should use trademark laws to disallow companies that bundle malware with their software from using the BitTorrent brand?
