I love all the commentary about how I'm supposedly inventing things here. Supply chain hacks or just selling one's site/brand happens. If you don't like the results too bad. Check them yourself.
I didn't realize how strong a community Rufus has. Please don't shoot the messenger.
I have used Rufus many times in the past @briankrebs and never had an issue, but clearly if you are seeing these additional installs something has compromised it.
I usually grab the portable version and the last one I downloaded was 4.14 back in May, which worked as expected and still does.
So it would seem that 4.15 is not to be trusted.
@briankrebs you where right to report, fuck them haters.

@briankrebs it's weird how the USB installers have the most vehement defenders. Veronica Explains pointed out that the Ventoy dev ignored inquires about some closed source blobs and then had to endure some harassment from... Ventoy fanboys?
@briankrebs Where's the anyrun run?
