Here’s something for the Defense Squadron Pomposo Linux – and who would say we’d see the day – Ubuntu / Debian and have dedicated Malware.

Hidden within a beautiful screen saver under the name “waterfall”, the. Deb was distributed through the site popular styles Gnome-Look.org . The. Deb installed as a script with elevated privileges designed to perform a DDoS attack and stay updated both through content downloads.

It goes without saying so, since then the file has been eradicated from Gnome-Look , making the reef a success in terms of distribution, although basic, has been effective for others.

Another reminder of why we can not sail by Internet downloading shit right and left, even from trusted sites, without noticing at least some basic care, and again exposing my personal problem with Ubuntu and the Linux permissions system / Windows 7/Vista in general:

NO should be “Root / Admin or anything,” why on earth we can not implement something more … “sandboxed”, isolated from key components, to Chrome, and avoid jeopardizing even the macros stored in my keyboard? Defend So, gurus from Linux.

Oh right, the solution, if you have been affected:

( OMG! Ubuntu! Reminds us to HAVE NOT run this script unless you have installed. )

CONCERNED DEB

(in terminal) sudo rm-f / usr / bin / Auto.bash / usr / bin / run.bash / etc / profile.d / index.php gnome.sh run.bash
