Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't Kimsuky playing the bad Samaritan with trojanized "gifts" again. This time, they're slipping the Gomir backdoor into your Linux system like a ninja drops a smoke bomb. Smooth, silent, and just as friendly as a bear trap. If you're in South Korea and clicking "Next" on an installer faster than a K-pop beat drop, you might want to slow your roll and double-check that software's pedigree.
