You know, I’ve been thinking.
One thought that occurs? Is about
Transmission: the app that’s caused problems, recently, for Mac owners.
How on Earth did it get onto the manufacturers servers? I don’t know if I could tell you that: but it seems the
Transmission main servers suffered a hack attack, in the run-up to the problem.
The makers have since improved security, so hopefully, it shouldn’t happen again.
There’s something I’m wondering, though.
Transmission is the default BitTorrent client on Ubuntu desktop: so I have to ask if the hack attack means Ubuntu and other operating systems are safe from an attack like this. In other words, an attack that sneaks malware onto a system, from legitimate software’s own servers.
I don’t know if I’ve got any answers, there.
But I HOPE if that’s the case? It takes a long time to happen.
