Malware and Viruses in Ubuntu Linux
483My Ubuntu system got infected with a virus last week, It came from a driveby download forced to my system through exploits in Firefox and Adobe Flash Player.
The only effect I found was my system beaconing out to a Polish IP address. Left unchecked it could have been much worse...
