[sf-lug] Ransomware threat to Linux servers

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LUGers,

     Note that keeping your security up-to-date is the best defense.

Linux version of RansomEXX ransomware discovered

This marks the first time a major Windows ransomware strain has
been ported to Linux to aid hackers in their targeted intrusions.

     Note that the targeted servers are those from which a large
ransom can be collected but there are other groups that are not
so discriminating using similar tools.
