Kaspersky and Linux are slowly becoming a combustible mix
You can create the fanciest Linux malware in the world but if you have no means of getting it onto a Linux system — and with admin rights too — you might as well spend your time baking a cake. Or maybe walking the dog.
I asked Kaspersky if the researchers who made this post — Fedor Sinitsyn and Vladimir Kuskov — could provide this information. The response I got was: "Our malware analyst does not have additional information about the infection vector of this malware." That's like writing a murder mystery and not mentioning the name of the man/woman who was the killer.
Now if this had been clearly stated in the blog post which was put up — the company regularly posts about its findings, and while the primary purpose is marketing, some of the posts are of very high quality — then I would have no beef with the post.
