Or learn how to companies write their own name, or bother to even make the
message remotely similar to real Red Hat advisories. If they were smart
they would have made the "update" an RPM. I see no reason not to and the
fact the patch was a tarfile with a Makefile and a script would be plenty
to tell it is fake by itself.
