Poor new Linux users. You choose a good starting distribution. This sucks hard. Linux isos are not exe files. You can also check the hash files, but I don’t know anyone that does that on their personal PC.

And the hashes are displayed on the website that got compromised

To be fair, I doubt that someone who even knows how to verify a hash when would see an exe instead of an iso would think that this looks fine.

I doubt they bothered to change them. And, if you know how to check hashes then you wouldn’t run an exe file to download an ISO.
