I remember a story where people asked about blobs included in Ventoy and there were no comments from the devs, leading to suspicion.
At the time it wasn’t clear to me if there was any substance to the story or if it was the usual Internet exaggeration, so I resolved to ignore it for the time being and saved a reminder to look into it after a while.
Now my reminder fired off and I looked around, but couldn’t find how the story ended… do you know?
The issue is still open. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795
The last comment has this:
That screenshot is from another site. An account named longpanda has also appeared on lemmy and had their post/replies removed because of impersonation suspicions.
I think it is wise to take extra care on this issue on what you read and trust.
Afaik that particular post is on the official Ventoy forum. Probably legit
The Lemmy one was fake
That is the owners account from the official forum, which is known to be real. The Lemmy account was a fake that copied their name from that account.
