The dangerous Lion worm is stalking Linux systems. Worse than the Ramen worm, Lion installs then hides hacker tools on vulnerable systems Linux system administrators have a new worm to worry about. The SANS Institute is reporting the presence of the Lion worm, which is much more dangerous than the Ramen worm earlier this year. What makes Lion more dangerous is that it can steal passwords, install and hide hacker tools, gain root access of an infected system then attack other vulnerable systems.

It is unclear whether Lion will surpass Ramen in total number of systems infected. It may infect Unix systems as well as Linux systems.
