According to Kaspersky, StripedFly uses its own custom EternalBlue attack to infiltrate unpatched Windows systems and quietly spread across a victim’s network, including to Linux machines.

Yeah I call bullshit on that. Absolutely zero description of any vulnerability.

I too am struggling to find the actual Linux vuln. It sounds like it steals ssh keys, so maybe just poorly configured hosts?

Why would the article not share the name of the miner in question?
