From what I read I don't see it as a new technology or something original. The idea behind is they establish a infiltration system that adds fake download sources to a network to reduce the chances of users finding the correct download in some way. And like every other mechanism can be used in many ways. I see no difference with malware attached to emails or downloaded over the net by tricking the user as something legitimate. It's the same concept.
