Hi

That particular new trojan is still extremely difficult to catch accidentally. From what I can gather it needs to be "planted" somehow. it's not something that you can pick up by a "drive by website" whilst your looking at the "pictures" :-) The site in the Slashdot page i.e Intezer - HiddenWasp Malware Stings Targeted Linux Systems (https://www.intezer.com/blog-hiddenwasp-malware-targeting-linux-systems/) has a nice techo write up on it. I really do admire the expertise of the persons that write these. They are very very smart. A little misguided though.
