This is an email phish you should be aware of.


The e-mail, which has been circulating since late last week, says it originates from the "Red Hat Security Team" and urges users to download a patch fixing vulnerabilities in the ls and mkdir file system utilities. To add a veneer of authenticity, the scammers used an authentic-seeming domain name, fedora-redhat.com, to host the malicious download.

Hell... it's about time some evil hackers target Red Hat! According to Jonathan Schwartz of Sun fame, Red Hat is damn near as proprietary as Microsoft. ;)

His blog is interesting to read every now and then:

People from sun hate everything that they didn't create. Bunch of hate mongers if you ask me.

RH isn't so bad at least they have Fedora. M$ doesn't have anything like that.
