Malware Found on the Ubuntu Snap Store -Source: LINUXUPRISING

How many of us were expecting this???

An Ubuntu user has spotted today a cryptocurrency miner hidden in the source code of an Ubuntu snap package hosted on the official Ubuntu Snap Store.

One of the app's name is 2048buntu, a clone of the popular 2024 game, packaged as an Ubuntu snap & allegedly uploaded by user Nicolas Tomb.

New app store in the town of malware infections. New Age of Security will be considered just as a fairy tale, it may make you feel good but the problem is that it doesn't exist.
