Wait, I got a torrent from www.1377x.to, it's https, the other gets blocked. 🤔

I hope it wasn't a virus, the torrent had many seeds...

Was that an executable? Otherwise you should be okay

It was a Mario kart 8 deluxe with latest update which included a copy of yuzu early, I'll check later if it was from 1377 or 1337, now I'm a bit confused.

The whole point of that site is to distribute viruses, so if you didn't get one consider yourself lucky. You should run windows defender, malwarebytes and norton power eraser just to be sure

@ILeftReddit @theophrastus @heidrun @Sebastrion @Ivyymmy @orsetto on just linux ;)

@hyde running sketchy files on linux can be just as dangerous as windows. Linux's strength comes from it's trusted ecosystem of repositories and mainly open source programs which are easily auditable.

@ILeftReddit sure but it's still more secure than windows :)

@hyde too an extent yes, but once again, if you give root access to malware because you don't know any better, well you're kind of just as screwed. If linux is to become more mainstream and be a daily driver of the average user, this could be a common scenario
