-
Monero-mining Outlaw Shellbot targets Linux servers [Ed: Won't work unless these serves are compromised. Skips that critical point, as do the Microsoft boosters who pretend malware just magically lands on GNU/Linux filesystems.]
-
Latest Target Of Cryptojackers – Linux Users [Ed: Those rely on already-compromised GNU/Linux servers, sometimes compromised by proprietary software that sits on top of them]
-
New Campaign Exploiting Linux Servers to Insert Backdoor “SpeakUp” Trojan [Ed: They keep calling "back doors" things which are actually Trojans and require some holes to get in there (in the first place)]
-
New Monero Cryptojacking Malware Targets Linux and IoT Users [Ed: Does not target a weakness in Linux itself; usually a bad password]
-
SpeakUp - Backdoor Linux Trojan [Ed: The term "Backdoor Linux Trojan" is meaningless because it's actually a Trojan, not a back door, and it needs holes to get through in the first place. This is coordinated propaganda from a proprietary software firm.]
