JDownloader website hacked, served malware to Windows and Linux users for over a day

Summary

The JDownloader website was compromised by attackers who replaced legitimate download files with malware for over a day, targeting Windows and Linux users. The breach was first noticed when a Reddit user reported that downloads were flagged by Windows SmartScreen and showed a suspicious publisher ("Zipline LLC") instead of the legitimate one. The JDownloader team took the website offline for investigation. This incident follows a similar breach of the CPU-Z website a month earlier, highlighting a growing trend of attackers compromising software download portals to distribute malware.
