Linux malware

Linux malware is when a special type of computer program makes its way onto a computer using the Linux operating system. The program is designed to do bad things, like stealing your personal information, locking you out of your computer, or sending out spam messages. Linux malware can be difficult to spot, because it usually hides itself so you don't know it's there. The best way to protect yourself from Linux malware is to make sure that your computer is running the latest security updates and that you only download programs from websites that you trust.
