All your linux, macos, and windows are belong to virus writers.

Does anyone have more details? How does it gain access to non-userspace processes or disk under Linux?

Security researchers worry that the malicious code may be part of a disturbing new trend of viruses that can run on Windows, as well as other operating systems that have been largely ignored by hackers.

Multiplatform viruses. I was wondering when some hackers would get the idea to create something like this.

"Much smarter folks than I have pointed out that only idiots believe Linux is totally immune from such things. I agree with them. We can never safely assume that Linux is as secure as it can be. But when a Microsoft partner creates a tsunami of headlines with a story about a phony, fabricated "virus," which admittedly is not contagious, and which requires the user to execute it in order for it to do anything at all, I don't call it a virus. I call it BS."
