E-M1_firmware

Someone sent me this link to Softpedia where he says you can download the 4.0 E-M1 firmware update. I have no way to check if this is real and don’t want to risk to ruin anyones camera. I kindly invite you not to test this. I post this as sole info only and maybe some 43rumors reader has enough skills to check if the software is a scam or a real one.
