Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/560

Recently a popular Monero wallet site was hacked, the attackers replaced a known trusted binary with a backdoored one to allow crypto theft. The only reason the attack was uncovered because the attackers didnt update the binary hashes on the site.

More on the story here

Would ScreenToGif consider publishing known safe hashes to a key system so we can validate the software we are downloding can be trusted? Infact, is this already being done?

Thank you
