Really, you should check the GPG checksum on a believed-to-be-good computer… gpg --verify F12-Beta-x86_64-Live-CHECKSUM The integrated disk check will guard against a corrupted download, but not against a deliberately hacked download. Then again, it’s probably easier for a programmer to get an “accidental” vulnerability in a Fedora package than to hack the download. There was an attempt to corrupt the Linux kernel’s BitKeeper repository, back when it had one, that used “= 0” (make this variable zero) instead of “== 0” (check if this variable is zero), which was supposed to have looked like a careless programming error.
