A Linux version of DinodasRAT, a multi-platform backdoor, has been discovered by Kaspersky, targeting countries including China, Taiwan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. The malware, first detected in early October 2023, primarily targets Red Hat-based distributions and Ubuntu Linux, establishing persistence on hosts and enabling various malicious activities including data exfiltration and espionage.
