Millions of Linux users. One victim already lost 9 Bitcoin. That was $490,000. 🧐</p> <p>The Snap Store is the official app store for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, run by Canonical. When developers publish apps, they sign up with an email on their own domain. Something like <a href="mailto:dev@mycoolproject.tech" rel="">dev@mycoolproject.tech</a>. But domains expire. People forget to renew, move on to other things, and that domain goes back on the market for anyone to grab.</p>
