  Well, most of us can relax I believe: The rootkit supports Linux Kernel versions are 2.6x/3.10.x

    The only thing I know runs that kernel version is my Wii because it needs an old kernel for ppc32 support

      Be careful, one day you’ll boot it up only to find some hacker have set new and impossible to beat highscores.

    Now that is helpful information - current distros being on 6.x and whatnot… Thanks!

  From the article:

  The researchers have so far been unable to determine precisely how Krasue gets installed.

  So no one knows yet. But I feel that the existence of malware in the wild is newsworthy, even if we don’t know how it got there. Regardless, you and I probably don’t have to worry about it unless you’re a Thai telecom.

    And unless we run a 3.x kernel as another commentor pointed out…
