HandBrake question

[Rai_03]

Is MBAM for Mac aware that the HandBrake server has been compromised?

 

See the following links:

Mirror download server compromised.

Announcements HandBrake forum.

What to do if an update has been completed on 02 May 2017?

Thank you.

Yup, we're aware. We'll be posting further details in a blog post on Malwarebytes Labs, but if you think you might be infected, here's what you can do:

1. Delete the HandBrake 1.0.7 app from your computer
2. Scan your computer with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac and remove anything it detects
3. Restart the computer if Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac recommends doing so

If you want to download a fresh copy of HandBrake, it should be clean by now, but unfortunately, since it's not code signed, there's no way to be 100% sure it hasn't been tampered with, and we don't know yet what measures the HandBrake team has taken to prevent another hack from happening.
