It's not the first project.
Dozens of high profile projects have been hijacked by sf_editor1, sf_editor2, sf_editor3 and now contain binary downloads that bundle malware or spyware into the download.
Also the site is populated by dodgy download button ads and fake video player download ads targeting Chrome users.
If that's not bad enough, other DICE properties have been censoring the news about this, for example on /. (Slashdot) which has also fallen into the aggressive money making advertising tactics of this sinking ship.
Rather than modernise SourceForge, Slashdot and other properties they have joined this race to the bottom, trying to extract as much cash now out of unwary visitors through spam, malware and adware.
