Question: Is Linux Mint Safe?
Contents

Can Linux Mint be hacked?

The systems of users who downloaded Linux Mint on February 20 may be at risk after it was discovered that Hackers from Sofia, Bulgaria managed to hack into Linux Mint, currently one of the most popular Linux distributions available.

Is Linux Mint trusted?

Most, if not all, Linux distributions are safe. My short answer: yes, if you keep everything updated and scan the official Mint blog for any security related topics (which are very rare). It is much much more secure than any windows system. That depends on YOU, security is a policy you enact, enabled by technology.
