Wine updated when visiting Dropbox in a phishing attempr

Post by Zebaztian1970 »

I got an email with the subject "Important". It was from a person's mailadress I knew. But I opened the link in Firefox (normally I use Chrome), and in a private session. I came to the same page as described on Symantecs homepage http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/d ... ed-dropbox. I never logged in. But at the sametime I saw that Wine did a quick update. So something must have happened. I've been trying to check the URL ot test sites and nothing shows up.

How shall I think about security in Wine. Is it better to do a reinstall? According to the most of the sites I read, Wine acts "almost" as a Sandbox.

I don't know where you read that, but it wasn't here. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3cb8f05 ... 4e305a0459
