If your Windows friends/families have downloaded the Brave browser recently, check if it was downloaded from brave.com which is where you would want to download the browser and not bravė.com
Very subtle difference but the sneaky scallies managed to get their malware downloaded onto a lot of machines.
It wouldn't affect Linux users by default as it is a .exe file but tell your Windows friends if they recently have started using Brave, as well as some other software including Tor and Telegram (according to the second link).
