JDownloader site hacked to replace installers with Python RAT malware
The official JDownloader website was compromised to serve malicious Windows and Linux installers, and the Windows payload installed a Python-based remote access trojan. Only users who downloaded the affected alternative installer links between May 6 and May 7, 2026 were at risk, and the developers advised reinstalling systems and resetting passwords if the malware was executed. #JDownloader #AppWorkGmbH #ThomasKlemenc #ZiplineLLC #TheWaterTeam
