To the best of my knowledge my binaries weren't infected (even though the attackers definitely had access to them). This is based on:
  • a comprehensive, internal report by the FossHub admins to the authors who host their software there,
  • tweeks and other information from the group responsible for the attack,
  • media reports about it and
  • the fact that I haven't had a single user report any kind of infection in or malicious behavior from my binaries.

I am affected only insofar as the account database containing the passwords was compromised as well, and therefore my FossHub password might be cracked. However, as I don't re-use passwords across sites or accounts I'm not particularly worried about it.

I plan to write a more comprehensive blog post about his over the weekend including more details about what I know and infer and ways for users to verify that their downloads of MKVToolNix are legit. But as my users don't seem to be in danger I've been pretty relaxed about the whole issue.
