They note Linux users need to take care for malware attacks.
Yeah, but the bit you quote is just sloppy journalism. What the report said was:
Cybercriminals Accelerate Use of Linux Malware - With a 40% increase in Linux-related malware families in the past year, according to Intezer, and a 500% increase in Go-written malware in the first six months of 2020, attackers are accelerating a migration to Linux malware, that can more easily run on various platforms, including cloud environments.
Then what the “journalist” wrote:
But with Linux currently powering 90% of cloud workloads and the X-Force report detailing a 500% increase in Linux-related malware families in the past decade, cloud environments can become a prime attack vector for threat actors.
So, no, the report didn’t say “a 500% increase in Linux-related malware families”. It said a 40% increase in Linux malware families and a “500% increase in Go-written malware”.
I wonder why there’s such a large increase in “Go-written malware”. Hum.
