Malware Turns Delphi Software Compilers into Virus Breeders

[anonymous]

Security experts seem more intrigued than alarmed over a
newly-discovered virus that inserts itself into a Delphi compiler, and
replicates itself in every program compiled.

I expected this forum to be abuzz with Delphi developers comparing
notes on the date of their first compile with the virus. Those with
the earliest infections would have a chance to see where this came
from (I suspect maybe a Delphi productivity tool).

Is there a place where Delphi developers hang-out and talk geek stuff?

Which forum? The original post went to several.

Is there a place where Delphi developers hang-out and talk geek stuff?

There have been at least four separate discussions on this topic under way
for the last week in the Delphi non-tech forum:
