A previously undocumented Linux malware with backdoor capabilities has managed to stay under the radar for three years. Dubbed “RotaJakiro” by researchers from Qihoo 360 NETLAB, the backdoor targets Linux X64 machines. The malware is designed with stealth in mind, relying on a mix of cryptographic algorithms to encrypt its communications with a command-and-control server. Early versions appear to have been uploaded to VirusTotal as early as May 2018, but only seven security vendors have flagged the latest version of the malware.
