Good, this is what I was looking for, confirmation it wasn't just
someone messing with me. I didn't want to turn over this stuff to Red
Hat if it was just someone messing with me individually.
As such, I'm sure Red Hat will want to be made aware that there is
Malware sitting out there. In the worst case, the trademark in the
domain makes everything easy for them.
