It's literally a crime. malware is illegal.
- sneak 5y agoNo, it's not. Publishing malware is protected expression in the USA, like all source code (thanks, djb!). Forcing it onto the computers of others is illegal, but as you know that's not what happened here. Pulled, not pushed.
- Macha 5y agoMeh, by that argument a typosquatter that hosts a malware download is not doing anything illegal as the user who made a typo pulled the malware, not pushed.
