The Case of Panics Stolen Source Code

Steven Frank:

Last week, for about three days, the macOS video transcoding app HandBrake was compromised. One of the two download servers for HandBrake was serving up a special malware-infested version of the app, that, when launched, would essentially give hackers remote control of your computer.

In a case of extraordinarily bad luck, even for a guy that has a lot of bad computer luck, I happened to download HandBrake in that three day window, and my work Mac got pwned.

Long story short, somebody, somewhere, now has quite a bit of source code to several of our apps

Before I continue, three important points:

• There’s no indication any customer information was obtained by the attacker.
• Furthermore, there’s no indication Panic Sync data was accessed.
• Finally, our web server was not compromised.
