Security researchers at antivirus provider ESET have discovered a bootkit developed for Linux Ubuntu machines. Known as Bootkitty, this malware is capable of infecting a Linux computer’s boot process before the operating system loads, making it more challenging to detect and remove.

Its existence highlights that Linux systems are potentially susceptible to UEFI bootkits, previously only observed in Windows systems.
