Any recommendations for an affordable, reliable #VPN  which has servers in different European countries like #belgium #france #italy #netherlands #uk? I'm not too much of a fan of #mullvad because it seems their servers are blocked on many services, probably because they are being abused often for malicious activities.

 @c9b364e6 I agree completely. Unfortunately it seems like the Firefox package uses its own libwebp copy, because there was a separate Firefox security update

and the package does not depend on libwepb7. 
 Beste #destandaard, het zal mij worst wezen op wie een overhypte en zeer van zichzelf ingenomen influencer al dan niet gaat stemmen.

 Yesterday the news broke that a trojanized version of #freedownloadmanager was being distributed. https://securelist.com/backdoored-free-download-manager-linux-malware/110465/

1 day later:
- no single anti virus vendor (besides #Kasperksy) added detection  https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b77f63f14d0b2bde3f4f62f4323aad87194da11d71c117a487e18ff3f2cd468d/detection
- Both 1.1.1.2 and 9.9.9.9 malware filtering DNS servers still resolve the domain
- Only a handful of security vendors flag the domain as malicious https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/deb.fdmpkg.org/detection

Even though this is not  widespread, this is disappointing.
