Black Lotus Labs, the threat intelligence arm of Lumen Technologies, recently uncovered a multifunctional Go-based malware developed for Windows and Linux

AT&T Alien Labs has discovered a new malware targeting endpoints and IoT devices that are running Linux operating systems. Shikitega is delivered in a multistage infection chain where each module responds to a part of the payload and downloads and executes the next one. An attacker can gain full control of the system, in addition to the cryptocurrency miner that will be executed and set to persist.

Introduction Rootkits are dangerous pieces of malware. Once in place, they are usually really hard to detect. Their code is typically more challenging to write than other malware, so developers resort to code reuse from open source projects. As rootkits are very interesting to analyze, we are always looking out for these kinds of samples […]

Symbiote is a new Linux malware we discovered that acts in a parasitic nature, infecting other running processes to inflict damage on machines.

Observing a 254% increase in activity over the last six months from a versatile Linux trojan called XorDdos, the Microsoft 365 Defender research team provides in-depth analysis into this stealthy malware's capabilities and key infection signs.
