Linux trojan takes screenshots every 30 seconds, has ability to record sound

Malware called Linux.Ekoms.1 takes screenshots every 30 seconds and is capable of recording sound. Malware checks for two files related to DropBox or Mozilla Firefox and launches itself from a new directory. The malware takes screenshots in JPEG or BMP format and uploads them to a server over encrypted connection. Researchers admit that the sound-capture functionality does not appear to be being used by the Trojan perhaps indicating that side of its spying is a work in progress. Users should run a full scan of all disk partitions using DrWeb Anti-virus for Linux.”]
