ftp.apcupsd.com hacked?

The oddest thing.

I just went to the apcupsd site (apcupsd.com + org) in search for the latest
version, and lo and behold, my NAV 2003 (on my XP machine) warns me that
their ftp site just tried to sneak in a Trojan virus (Sockets de Trois v1)
onto my system. :( So much for getting the latest version.

Are they hacked or something??

Why are you asking us?

Anyway, it's just as likely this was a false alarm by your virus scanner.

Because of your comment below. :)

Unlikely; but yes, that is why I ask: to see whether I am the only one
affected by this, whether people already know of this, and, if not,
providing the simple courtesy of letting them know. :)

Strictly not a FreeBSD question; but apcupsd is in the port library, and a
highly used program for people with APC UPS-es. So, if their site is
infected with a virus, is seems only natural to make some inquiries.
