CloudCompare forum

Hi,

I hope you guys are all having a great day.

I have just come across some news about recent GlassWorm malware attacks, targeting at open source softwares.
While I have little to no knowledge about these malwares/ viruses except for running anti-malware softwares,
it is a bit worrying that I and several members in my team are using both the Stable and Beta versions of CC (downladed from offical homepage).

You can have a look at the linke below if you want to read more about it.

I wonder how CC developer team is dealing with these, an do you have recommendations for me to do in the mean time?

Thank you for your always kind support!

CloudCompare does not rely on that many third party software packages, and definitely not the most widespread.

More importantly, as stated in the article: "The infections spanned JavaScript, TypeScript and Python repositories". We don't use any of these in the CloudCompare application itself (almost only C++ components). And if you are concerned by the Python part, then you can simply not install the Python plugin (which is optional).

Thank you for your information!
I really appreciate it.
