Very disturbing breach.

Very disturbing breach. One of the top 3 Linux distros, Mint, was compromised. If you downloaded the hacked iso file from their website since Feb 20th, you probably have a backdoor and you should get rid of it. Download a new version and use the md5 checksums to verify the download is valid. The attackers were also able to access the Forums and steal Names, email address, and hashed passwords. If you’re a Mint Forum member, change your credentials immediately.
