Official Monero website compromised with malware that steals funds

[erek]

"The official website of the Monero cryptocurrency has been compromised to deliver a malware-infected file that steals funds from account owners.

The compromise happened yesterday, November 18. A user spotted the compromised filed and reported the issue on GitHub, with the Monero team confirming the hack in a tweet earlier today.

The hack was discovered after the user downloaded a 64-bit Linux binary for working with Monero cryptocurrency from the Linux command-line interface."

Luckily this appears to have only affected recent downloads of the client. The 1.2 XMR that I mined 2 years ago and stuffed on a flashdrive which I then promptly stuffed somewhere that I've forgotten are likely safe.

It's refreshing to see so much new content here though, regardless if it's exactly "news" or not. I for one appreciate it!
