Linux Device Takeover: The Stealthy Rise of NoaBot Cryptomining Malware
Beware the Linux lurker: a sly malware variant dubbed NoaBot is slithering through SSH weak spots, swapping DDoS antics for cryptojacking capers. Under the guise of Monero mining, it’s a sneaky cyber serpent with a crypto-concealing twist.
Hot Take:
