Warning to all Redhat users`

If you get an e-mail from "redhat support" that sends you to download a patch from the site http://fedora-redhat.com/ DISREGARD. This is a new phishing scam that will install a trojan onto your system. (It has not yet been verified that the trojan works properly yet).

Discuss implications here.

Yet another reason not to use redhat.

Your computer wants Debian.

Yet another reason to *think* before clicking on a link in an e-mail.

Oh comeon, this Linux stuff is way to complicated for the common user.

You have to manually unpack, change the directory, and COMPILE this virus, before installing it. Is it too much to ask to have a binary version of this virus for some of the more common systems? What if I want to infect my system, and I don't have make or gcc installed, I'm right back in dependancy hell.

When are these Linux developers going to realize that in order to take the desktop market over, they are going to need to simplify installation of virii a lot. You would never see a windows user, downloading a .zip file, extracting it, loading up the project in Visual Studio, compiling it and running it, would you? No, on windows, most of the time, you don't even need to click anything to install a virus.

Perhaps the reason this is so complicated is that "Zero-Click" installations are patented by Microsoft?

I believe that it comes as an i386 binary or at least as an .rpm. According to the article <a href="http://nwc.securitypipeline.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=51200215">here</a>, the trojan has been removed from the website. I presume Red Hat sicked their lawyers on the owners of fedora-redhat.com
