A reported Free Download Manager supply chain attack redirected Linux users to a malicious Debian package repository that installed information-stealing malware.

The malware used in this campaign establishes a reverse shell to a C2 server and installs a Bash stealer that collects user data and account credentials.

Kaspersky discovered the potential supply chain compromise case while investigating suspicious domains, finding that the campaign has been underway for over three years.

And we really only have a few reddit and stackexchange posts to verify that this is not a fake event?

This whole story looks like disinformation.

Disinformation against who? Linux? lol

Kaspersky is fairly trusted in the security world for finding malware and attack vectors.
