So I am figuring most have seen the news but if not:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-hundreds-were-tricked-into-installing-linux-mint-backdoor/

Funny thing is I actually grabbed an iso that day.  Didn't install it yet
as it was for a computer that was waiting on hardware first.  Deleted it as
soon as I heard.

Supposedly according to the hacker he got the forum and forum passwords
cracked as well.  In case anyone was on the forums.  I don't recall if I
had a login there, site is still down for me to check.
