The newest version of Nuclear is now available on the refreshed #Snapcraft page.

To install:
$ sudo snap install nuclear

Malware Peddlers Are Now Hijacking Snap Publisher Domains

tl;dr: There’s a relentless campaign by scammers to publish malware in the Canonical Snap Store. Some gets caught by automated filters, but plenty slips through.
