rlf Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 At least one popular hackintosh item, Clover, is hosted on SourceForge. SourceForge has started to do bad things to some accounts. Unauthorized ads and adding malware to developer's packages. Here is a story on Gimp, a graphics tool like a poor-man's Photoshop: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/06/sourceforge-locked-in-projects-of-fleeing-users-cashed-in-on-malvertising/ Here is the story on Nmap, a utility to map out and perform actions over a network: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegface Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 For these exact softwares maybe its recent, but developers have been complaining of sourceforge doing this for some time (perhaps years). Seems they are not interested in changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfesq Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Looks like SourceForge was listening: http://sourceforge.net/blog/third-party-offers-will-be-presented-with-opt-in-projects-only/ Hope it's not just lip-service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
