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.

Man the year of the Linux desktop is rapidly approaching! We now have shady websites that offer the same content available in the operating system with less features, and costs money or spies on you.

Soon enough we'll have browsers forced on it's users! I can't wait to feel like a true Windows user.

You know why we say it's the year of the Linux desktop, every year?

Because every year is the year of the Linux desktop.
