  There's always people who do not know that and download it anyway.

    On top of that, there are people who actively avoid official distribution, thinking e.g. anything should come through a middle man. Diversity is weird.

  I think this is just poorly written, and what they are trying to say is the bad actors would add their malware to an LOL distro and the redistribute it as "official".

  >Why would anyone use a pirated/cracked version? Doesn't even have to be pirated or cracked. ESEA put surreptitious bitcoin miners into their installer/client software back in 2013. Greed talks.

  Perhaps a "cracked" version can either use unofficial servers, or permits/includes cheating mods?
