Yeah-— heh, heh— look how many chinks we have in the armor in the US. Need an update on the “fibbies” and chinks at the DOJ raiding Giuliani over whether he acted as a foreign agent— all the while knowing he was “seconded” to William Barr and assigned to him by the President of the US. Trump. All very much within the law.

JoeBama is all about being a paid “chink in the armor” Why else did he go see jimmah “japan” cahtah yesterday— to compare their backline of drool and slobber money, and influence. Worried as they should be. Too late for wonder boy jimmah mr. peanut.

thanks for the laugh!

Any reason you have not upgraded to Mint v20.1?

That might help.

I still have mint 17 on mine and NEVER have any problems.
Why upgrade?
It does everything I want to do.
Nuff said?!

what would constitute “sensitive info”?

Yup--the NSA approach is best. Vacuum up everything--then sort it out...

Something keeps sneaking in and stealing my desktop icons on Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3.

18.3 reached End of Life this month:

I'm not sure if upgrading to Mint 20.1 provides protection against RotaJakiro.

Still, gotta love the punchline:
According to Netlab, RotaJakiro supports 12 commands, including "Steal Sensitive Info," "Upload Device Info," "Deliver File/Plugin," and three "Run Plugin" variants. The security firm is presently unaware of what the malware's plugins do.
