check MD5 sum it listed a number that's not in your MD5sum document. I
have never checked an MD5sum, so don't know if this is a Mint bug or
you've been hacked

Thanks, but it would be a lot more help to know more details,
Especially which mirror you used, what was the url to where you
downloaded it from, ?
Was it a amd64 image or i386 ? Was it a "Live CD image", "netinstall"
or ?
Thank you
Additional note, I notice that here:
https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#verify
It says :=== "The problem with the verification of written optical
media is that some media types will possibly return more bytes than
those found in the ISO image. This trailing garbage is impossible to
avoid with CD written in TAO mode, incrementally recorded DVD-R[W],
formatted DVD-RW, DVD+RW, BD-RE, and also with USB keys. Therefore, we
need to read exactly the same number of sectors of data from the media
as are found in the ISO image itself; reading any more bytes from the
media will alter the checksum result.""
================================
There are more details here: https://www.debian.org/CD/verify
as well, Are you sure you are checking correctly ?
