Antivirus provider Kaspersky uncovers a sophisticated piece of 'StripedFly' malware camouflaged as a cryptocurrency miner that's been targeting PCs for more than five years.

According to Kaspersky, StripedFly uses its own custom EternalBlue attack to infiltrate unpatched Windows systems and quietly spread across a victim’s network, including to Linux machines.

Yeah I call bullshit on that. Absolutely zero description of any vulnerability.

This is a different article but you should find at least some more information on how the malware works with Linux here:

I'm not a Linux user so I honestly don't know if that article is incredibly helpful or not.

From the part you quoted earlier, it's absolutely useless, and not worth reading.

I too am struggling to find the actual Linux vuln. It sounds like it steals ssh keys, so maybe just poorly configured hosts?
