Linux flavor?

So, I'm seeing some references to .deb files.

Does this mean Ubuntu can be comprised? Any idea what the method of attack is?

The .deb files seems to be used for Ubuntu/Debian as part of the 'melting process' in core/scripts/rcs-core.rb.

This is disturbing. I read an article stating a lot of their exploits have involved embedding a malicious Adobe Flash file in a Microsoft Word doc. I didn't think the Linux permissions system would allow such a breach. They also claim to be able to hack BlackBerry. I wonder if that includes the new *nix-based platform.

It is indeed. Their knowledge base says that they focus on Debian, Ubuntu, Mageia, Mint, and Fedora for Linux distros.
