[CS-FSLUG] Comment on Azureus...

[N. Thompson]

In looking for the Azureus web page I happened to try 
http://www.azureus.org . The said site web page appears to be fake, 
using the Azureus logo and name to distribute some kind of malware; all 
links on the page attempt to get the user to run a file called 
azureus.exe however since the links I clicked had no relation to 
downloading Azureus I became suspicious and decided to report this. I 
have neither downloaded nor ran the executable file from the fraudulent 
web page however it is likely that someone who doesn't know better might 
install the malware believing that it is in fact authentic.

As an OSS developer myself I thought you might want to know, I wouldn't 
want anyone exploiting my software for the purpose of propagating 
malware and I'm quite sure the same is true of the Azureus developers 
and project leader.
