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!

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,
