Who is affected
Organizations operating Linux-based network and telecom appliances are primarily targeted by these stealth backdoors.
How to mitigate it
- 1Audit process lists and binary file paths on Linux appliances to identify unauthorized files masquerading as legitimate software.
- 2Monitor outbound network traffic for unexpected data flows disguised as email services.
- 3Restrict administrative and management interfaces on network appliances so they cannot be accessed directly from the public internet.
