Six year anniversary for Linux virus Rst-B - are you infected?
IT security and control firm Sophos is warning Linux users of the importance of properly securing their Linux systems, following findings from SophosLabs™ that a long established threat, known as Linux/Rst-B, is still infecting computers and servers.
Analysis of malware in Sophos's Linux honeypots have shown almost 70 percent of the infections are due to this six-year-old malicious program. Today, SophosLabs has made freely available a small detection tool to help Linux users find out whether they are unwittingly infected with this virus.
