Don't be paranoid, please! And don't FUD, you will make others scared. Probably dig more on it at Ubuntu forums.

For those who can't come to gripes with the situation and are getting paranoid (justifiably), I strongly recommend dropping (Ubuntu)Linux now, lest you come later and then shout all over the forums about it. Prevention is better than cure, so better do it now.
