    It does though: “On Linux, the malware assumes the name ‘sd-pam’. It achieves persistence using systemd services, an autostarting .desktop file, or by modifying various profile and startup files, such as  /etc/rc*, profile, bashrc, or inittab files.”

    So technically useless . it can’t do shit.
