Syscoin Developers Github Account Compromised - mothered - 06-16-2018
Greetings everyone,
Syscoin’s GitHub (repository) account has been compromised with a fake Installer, that executes a very difficult-to-remove virus for anyone unlucky enough to download It. Yet another example that Insecurities exist (and continue to do so) In reputable sources. Always cross-check everything you download, and preferably do It In a controlled environment.
Quote:Syscoin has released a security notice to their community today, advising them that a malicious copy of the Syscoin 3.0.4.1 Windows based installer has been made available by a compromised Syscoin developer account.
When Syscoin developers began investigating these reports they discovered an ‘unsigned copy’ of the latest Windows Syscoin installer had been modified and released on the Syscoin Github page, containing trojan malware. The cause of this malicious activity has been identified, with the team reporting that a Syscoin developers Github account had been compromised, granting them access to the tamper with the code.
The Syscoin team has openly accepted that ‘this may affect windows users who downloaded and executed the Syscoin 3.0.4.1 Windows setup binaries from Github between June 09th, 10:14PM UTC & June 13th 10:23PM UTC’, and has included an extensive step-by-step guide on how to identify and remove this threat.
