Le dépôt Git de Cemu, un émulateur de Wii U, a été compromis. Si vous l’avez mis à jour et lancer dans la semaine sous Linux, vous êtes bons pour réinstaller tout votre système de zéro, car celui-ci n’est plus sous votre contrôle. Sauf si c’est la version Flatpak que vous utilisez, ou si vous compilez vous-même le logiciel.
