Linux malware that Targets Raspberry Pi for Mining Cryptocurrency

Malware infects only Raspberry Pi Minicomputers. Trojans have a compressed and encrypted application to generate cryptocurrency. The infection occurs if the port number 22 kept open and the default password is not changed. Once launched it will connect to C&C server to get commands from the attacker. This Trojan was first noticed by Dr.Web Security experts in February 2017, then it has an enormous growth at the end of May. When compared to Mirai botnet targeting IoT devices it is far better, both of them use to infect in the same way.”]
