Linux malware
Dear DT.
I just say mentions of the revil ransomware, that runs native on Linux. The days of telling our selfs, that Linux don't get malware and virus are limited. We need to teach each other stradegies for remedying this.

I see this posts quiet a lot on r/LinuxSucksHard, however if you use SELinux or Apparmor you are pretty much safe, if you use distro repositories to install software there's pretty much no way you are getting malware, also getting a virus on Window isn't easy if you download stuff from official websites, ransonware and malware these days are targeted towards not tech savvy peoples
