Shikitega: New Malware Program Targeting Linux

AT&T Alien Labs has discovered a new Linux malware program targeting endpoints and IoT devices.

Usually, Linux malware targets servers and cloud instances. You know, where there’s big-time CPU horsepower to turn to cryptocurrency mining. Shikitega, however, likes to go for the low-hanging fruit of desktops and IoT devices. Of course, it will happily attack servers as well. Like all malware, it’s an equal opportunity attacker.
