[GNC] URGENT: Fake gnucash website with fake download, most likely compromised file

[John Ralls]

And for that page I get a completely blank page. I tried Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

I tried searching Google for gnu-cash, with the hyphen, and did see the ad, but clicking its link just took me to that Dot Com Inovations page.

Regards,
John Ralls
