Fyodor from insecure.org and the creator of nmap has issued the following statement on the nmap-hackers mailing list today.

http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/2011/5

nmap is one the most respected networking tools available.
This is just another example that it is easy to be duped.

Downloaders beware. Stay vigilant.
