Snap packages causing issues. Found this just now

Apparently a serious malware snap was allowed into the Snap store and downloaded by a number of folks.

Who would have imagined, that a packaging system which aims to recreate the MS Windows installer model, could result in malware getting on your system...

At least the malware was running in a sandbox..........

Not only the sandbox, at least users didn't have to wait long after it was uploaded by random author to be able to download it!

Surely the amazing AI tools would have caught it as it was uploaded by the creator? Or what...?

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard about the issue with snap & malware.
