Default Re: Ubuntu users alert..malicious code on prowl..

@Sykora....look at the thread title
"Ubuntu users alert..malicious code on prowl.."
I was expecting a vulnerability as in a virus when I opened this thread.
Yes the commands are dangerous but it could have been presented more accurately. Its more like don't openly trust anyone you meet on any forum, no offence meant to any fresh stock here, but its a precaution you take on ANY forum, not necessarily computing.

Also note there is a difference between dangerous and malicious. Format in Windows can be a dangerous command if you do not know what you are doing, BUT IT IS NOT MALICIOUS.
