Malware attacks targeting Linux servers have emerged recently. The newly emerging ShellBot botnet virus is also one of these threats.

Although malware attacks targeting Linux operating systems have increased, malware attacking Windows computers should not be taken lightly either. For example, the malware named DotRunpeX not only uses Process Hollowing, but also uses the virtualization component KoiVM to obfuscate the code.
