Citat:
Here’s what seems to have happened, according to the commendably prompt and open disclosure of Mint’s founder and project leader, Clement Lefebvre, better known as Clem.
• Hackers got in and modified a PHP script that was part of a WordPress installation used by the Mint project.
• If you used Mint’s download page to find your way to your download of choice, the malicious PHP script would redirect you to an imposter site.
• The only affected downloads were the versions known as Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon edition. (Each edition has its own look and feel; others versions include MATE, KDE and Xfce, none of which were affected.)
• The imposter server contained both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Cinnamon, but only the 64-bit version is known to have been hacked.

Citat:
In short: if you’re a Mint user, and you downloaded a Mint 17.3 Cinnamon ISO over the the weekend, and you didn’t validate the ISO’s checksum against an officially published list, and you installed the ISO, you probably have malware on your computer.
