 '''Q. What happened?'''

 A. It appears that on or about August 28, 2016, unauthorized access was
 gained to our website
 server. The official Mac version of Transmission 2.92 was replaced with an
 unauthorized version that contained the OSX/Keydnap malware. The infected
 file was available for download somewhere between a few hours and less
 than a day. Additional information about the malware is available
 [http://www.welivesecurity.com/2016/08/30/osxkeydnap-spreads-via-signed-
 transmission-application/ here] and
 [http://www.welivesecurity.com/2016/07/06/new-osxkeydnap-malware-hungry-
 credentials/ here].

 '''Q. What steps have been taken following the incident?'''

 A. The infected file was removed from the server immediately upon
 discovering its existence, which was less than 24 hours after the file was
 posted to the website. To help prevent future incidents, we have migrated
 the website and all binary files from our current servers to
 [https://github.com/transmission GitHub]. Other services, which are
 currently unavailable, will be migrated to new servers in the coming days.
 As an added precaution, we will be hosting the binaries and the website
 (including checksums) in two separate repositories.

 '''Q. Am I at risk?'''

 A. The infected file was available for download from our website for less
 than a day, and the file was not available through the auto-update
 mechanism. Steps to check for, and remove, an infection are available
 [http://transmissionbt.com/keydnap_removal/ here].

 '''Q. Can you share any more information about this incident?'''

 A. We are in the process of investigating the incident and will share any
 relevant information that we discover here.

 '''If you have any questions or information about the incident, please
 send an email to security at transmissionbt.com.'''

 Please change transmission's port file and its master_sites accordingly to
 at least the new project's official mirror server on GitHub
 [https://github.com/transmission/transmission],
 [https://github.com/transmission/transmission/releases] or to the
 announced upcoming new location or both of them. Additionally: the port
 file's current 2 master_sites locations seem to be unavailable/switched
 off.
