Linux Mint downloads (briefly) compromised

Problem is, if you look at places like comp.risks, it seems most of this stuff IS ALREADY connected to the internet :-(

And yes, hospitals have had nasty shocks when their equipment (running, eg, XP) has rebooted unexpectedly thanks to an internet fix. I suspect the reason we don't hear much about it is a combination of "well, what do you expect, it's a computer", and the usual health service cover-ups of any problems. Plus, I'm not aware of any serious problems - yet!

Cheers,
