More details including screencaps and binary code debugging examples at the website. If you are using or have used FileZilla you need to be aware of this hack. Other downloading utilities should also be closely examined for similar problems.

I’ll say this with the same aplomb as I do with my coworkers: people still use FTP?
With cloud-based file services and SFTP out there, why would anyone want to continue using a protocol that transmits your uid/pw as clear text?

“Avoid strange looking websites and portals offering software via their own downloaders or installers”
My favorite advice. Heck, at least half the LEGIT download sites want to use their own damn installable downloader, which I refuse to do btw. I’ll just go elsewhere where I can get a clean download and let them keep their crappy downloaders.

Thanks for posting this info. Fortunately, my copy seems to have been unaffected, but I passed this along to other users.
