Files on getmonero.org Have Been Compromised

The team found out about the existing problem from users who noticed the hash mismatch in the downloaded binary code. After careful research, it turned out that the wallet was indeed hacked, and its files were compromised.

The vulnerability in the system worked for 35 minutes, after which the problem was fixed. The developers hastened to report a high level of danger in social networks and gave advice to users.

Those who have worked with the wallet over the past 24 hours and noticed a hash mismatch are advised not to run it. And if the transactions were completed, it is better to transfer the available funds to a secure version of Monero’s wallet.

Now loading is carried out from a reserve source. Here are the correct hashes. Important to note is that troubles often happen in the Monero network. We recently informed that a hidden cryptocurrency miner was detected in WAV audio files.
