Fosshub Compromised

Some software programs on Fosshub, a free project hosting service, appear to be compromised and serve malware payloads .

Fosshub is a popular file hosting service that software projects such as Classic Shell, qBittorrent, Audacity, MKVToolNix, and others use as their primary file download service.

Basically, what these projects do is link either directly to download files hosted by Fosshub, or link to a download page for their programs on Fosshub.

A thread started on August 2 on the Classic Shell forum by a new user indicated that the user's computer would not boot Windows anymore after installing the application.
 
Ouch, it was pretty malicious as well.
Could have been worse though, it could have been ransomware instead of just wiping out the MBR.
