How to Check if Your Linux System is Infected with a Virus

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The best and most secure Operating System (OS) by design is Linux. Most devices, including Android OS, mobile operating systems, Chromebooks, and tablets, use Linux as a baseline. Unfortunately, Linux has become a target for viruses and malware despite general beliefs that the OS is immune to such data and network security threats. No OS is capable of completely removing online risks.

Security Considerations for Azure Linux & Windows Subsystem for Linux Users

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Azure Linux is a public computing platform developed by Microsoft that businesses can use for tasks like app development, analytics, virtual computing, networking, storage, and more. Linux uses Azure more frequently than Windows since the server can run large workloads. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) permits developers to run Linux directly on Windows and is a lighter alternative to Virtual Machines.

Although patching endpoints is exhausting and redundant, Linux admins must do so when keeping up with the latest security upgrades so that their company can maintain and improve security posture frequently. Failure to have robust data and network security patching in place can leave a system vulnerable to exploits in cybersecurity, including infected endpoints and harmful malware integration.

Large-Scale Phishing Campaign Floods Open-Source Repositories with 144,000 Packages

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Researchers have identified that unknown threat actors uploaded about 144,294 phishing-related packages using open-source package repositories, including NPM, PyPi, and NuGet. Automation allowed for these large-scale attacks in network security that promoted fake apps, prize-winning surveys, gift cards, giveaways, and more. Hackers utilized naming schemes with similar features in the descriptions to host over 65,000 phishing pages across 90 domains.
