From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A reported Free Download Manager supply chain attack redirected Linux users to a malicious Debian package repository that installed information-stealing malware.

The malware used in this campaign establishes a reverse shell to a C2 server and installs a Bash stealer that collects user data and account credentials.

Kaspersky discovered the potential supply chain compromise case while investigating suspicious domains, finding that the campaign has been underway for over three years.

No, thats a crown.

A cron is a type of super virus that wants to destroy the entire net. An end to all things.. Total crash. Only another virus superpowered by core energy can put a stop to it.

No that is a Cron-virus of the show ReBoot that lasted from 1994-2001.

Cron is just an other word for hag.

To cron is to sing romantic style of pop music.

They actually are, kind of. It's called Tron: Ares and it's been in production hell for some years, the most recent delay being due to the ongoing writer's strike. Filming is expected to start after the strike is over, but personally my enthusiasm for the movie died after they announced Jared Leto as one of the cast.
