Here are the official blog posts on this matter from a couple of days back.

1. Beware of hacked ISOs if you downloaded Linux Mint on February 20th!

2. All forums users should change their passwords. -

It looks like they didn't provide GPG signed checksums for the official
ISO images like a lot of other distributions do. Though most people
don't check the downloaded images against it, it might have been helpful
to find this out earlier.

Thanks & Regards,
