A new ransomware exploit has been discovered which affects the Linux OS. Known as "Linux.Encoder.1", it mostly affects web servers: Nginx and/or Apache are affected (MySQL) so admins are warned.

I must have copied too many words for the ‘excerpt’ function.

Here is a much-shortened re-post to guide others to this potential problem (the ransomware, in case you were wondering).

Admins beware...

Ransomware whatever. Only one patch and done, just forget about it.

Did they successfully intrude in OS X yet?
