Taking umbrage at Umbreon, the Linux rootkit that likes to hide

Trend Micro security researcher Fernando Mercs found that a new rootkit is on the prowl. The rootkit, which goes by the name Umbreon, targets Linux machines, including systems that run Intel and ARM processors. Umbreon, whose development began back in 2015, appears to derive its name from a Pokmon of the same name. To access the infected system, the attacker must make use of Umbreons backdoor component in conjunction with the hidden Linux user profile.”]
