[R] trojan with R download

[tom walk]

I am working in China for a month and needed to download an earlier version of R in order to use Deseq2 and its requirements. The download got to the last few seconds and hung up. A trojan was found. It could be coincidence that it happened when I was downloading R, or perhaps a man in the middle added a little something. Anyway, I thought you might be interested. You might want to check on this source and others from this server.
