This has to be a misunderstanding, right? Which linux user is going to:

1. Install a program by downloading a file from a random website instead of using the system package manager

2. Install something called "Free Download Manager". WTF?

Why bother making linux malware with this kind of attack vector?

How many linux users were caught by this? Was it a single 1, i.e. the security researcher from Kaspersky that investigated it?

Something does not add up in this story...
