GIMP Announce Official Snap Package

It’s always been easy to install GIMP on Ubuntu (it’s in the repos), but installing the latest stable release?

Взлом сайта Xubuntu с заменой ссылок на странице загрузки на вредоносное ПО

Официальный сайт дистрибутива Xubuntu скомпрометирован неизвестными злоумышленниками, которые на странице загрузки дистрибутива поменяли ссылки, ведущие на торренты, на файл "https://xubuntu.org/wp-content/Xubuntu-Safe-Download.zip". В итоге на странице загрузки остались только ссылки на вредоносный архив и доступные зеркала. Разработчики Xubuntu пока не прокомментировали ситуацию, но несколько часов назад удалили вредоносный архив и заблокировали доступ к разделу "xubuntu.org/download/", организовав перенаправление на главную страницу сайта.
