Cybersecurity researchers ESET have uncovered WolfsBane, a new all-in-one malware created by Chinese hackers, Gelsemium, reportedly to target Linux devices. The malware features a dropper, launcher, backdoor, and a rootkit for evading detection. Furthermore, WolfsBane grants its operators full control over the compromised system, enabling the execution of commands, data exfiltration and system manipulation. The report suggests focus has shifted to Linux after an improvement in Windows’ defenses.
