Afaik, modern malware will also do things like keylog for passwords, silent malware is neither reserved for high value targets or reserved for av evasion tier malware (which is relatively easy to do)
- hutzlibu 4y agoYes, "high value" is relative. But a criminal gang won't risk attention, to steal some bucks of a poor linux hacker, who potentially will raise hell, to find out how that steal happened. Which is the reason linux is more secure in the first place - there is simply plenty of easier prey elsewhere.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoWon’t they? How do you know what an entire collective would do?
- hutzlibu 4y agoI know that from basic reasoning (what if I wanted to to make money via hacking) and the fact that allmost everyday there is news about someone being ransomed on windows, but very, very rarely (if at all) on linux (on the desktop). Lower numbers, sure, but also a higher IT affinity. Overall not worth the hassle.
