Re: Where's Linux?

> I didn't see Linux in that set of bullet points. Is it secure or are you still reading about all the exploits they have for it? Enquiring minds are anxious to know.

I am still reading through the data, but based on what I have read (and wikileaks actual press release: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ ) Linux is a target and has been compromised.

Just an example quote from the press release link:

"HIVE is a multi-platform CIA malware suite and its associated control software. The project provides customizable implants for Windows, Solaris, MikroTik (used in internet routers) and Linux platforms and a Listening Post (LP)/Command and Control (C2) infrastructure to communicate with these implants."

No mention of the BSDs so far though (hence the Icon).
