Only one of the download mirrors was infected, which was hosted on their French server, so anyone who downloaded the program during the period has a 50% chance of having downloaded the malicious version of the file. The team at HandBrake posted a security warning that users who downloaded the application between 2 nd May and 6 th May should scan their machines for the Proton malware. Hackers were able to compromise a download server for HandBrake, a widely used open-source program that is used to rip DVDs and convert video files, and hide malware within it.
If you installed the popular Mac DVD ripper and video converter Handbrake early last month, your machine might be at risk from a backdoor trojan known as Proton.
