1. DW sells a product (anti-malware) and through an amazing coincidence, also "discovers" malwares in places no one else finds them, that can be fixed by their products. Amazing.
2. DW has "discovered" malwares that are claimed to be widespread, but even after months or years, has failed to provide hard evidence of their existence. But in the meantime, the announcements make for great notoriety and bazillions of page hits for the tech web journalists whores. They love Doctor Web.
3. Skepticism is advised. Just sayin'.
4. That said, of course it's worth taking the usual precautions to harden your servers and do off-host backups.
5. Anyone who runs their webservice (e.g. Apache) as root deserves everything they get.
If I am not mistaken most, if not all, pre-compiled binaries do not support Apache running as root.
I have built and manage a few Linux servers and I know of no reason one would want to run Apache as root?
Apache always starts as root to bind to privileged ports but immediately changes to user context.
