============================
Malware no site i2pbrowser.net
============================

Ficamos recentemente surpresos com a existência do site i2pbrowser.net. Este website copia a nossa homepage e página de download e tenta ludibriar os usuários para baixar um malware para Windows.

Há inúmeros indicativos de que o site i2pbrowser.net seja fonte de malware:

  • O domínio foi registrado em 10 de fevereiro de 2014.
  • Todas os URLs de download, para Windows, Mac OSZ, Linux, Android etc., lincam para o mesmo arquivo .exe
  • The .exe is only 741 KB; the official Windows installer for I2P is 13 MB.

We have not examined the malware ourselves, but it does not appear to be very sophisticated; it is not integrated into or bundled with the I2P software. Information security expert Lance James posted a tweet labelling it as "a standard dark comet rat".

Spread the word. The only official download locations for I2P are linked on our download page. All I2P download packages are GPG-signed by the release signing key.
