See how bot malware (also like emotet malcode) uses open-source tools to evade detection.

Re: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/linux-malware-uses-open-source-tool-to-evade-detection/

This tool is known as libprocesshider and is an open-source tool available on Github that can be used to hide any Linux process with the help of the ld preloader.  Devious: http://web.archive.org/web/20201111214916/https://sysdig.com/blog/hiding-linux-processes-for-fun-and-profit/

Emotet-bot cleansing: 1. https://twitter.com/milkr3am/status/1354459859912192002

Hard to imagine malware has better enterprise update schemes than common software often has.  :o

Beware: Malicious Home Depot ad gets top spot in Google Search
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/beware-malicious-home-depot-ad-gets-top-spot-in-google-search/
Top spot on Google search is based primarily on the money spent by the advertiser, not on the best answer to your search.
One should never assume that the top answer is ever the best answer.

Ask yourself how Google makes its revenue? That should be a good indication.
Also, re-read my statement, it merely stated that you should not depend on the top spot being the best or most reliable answer.

Perl.com domain stolen, now using IP address tied to malware
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/perlcom-domain-stolen-now-using-ip-address-tied-to-malware/

Hey @Asyn,
Sorry for being a few days late, but thanks for sharing this info about Perl. I use it for custom scripts on both Win 10 and Linux. The scripts are stable as is, but I'm going to need to update my Linux installation soon, which would probably persuade me to update Perl "everywhere", so I will now proceed with extra caution. Thank you! :)
