A newly discovered Linux malware family is targeting products from surveillance technology company AVTech via a CGI vulnerability that was disclosed in October 2016, Trend Micro researchers warn.

Detected as ELF_IMEIJ.A, the malware is the latest in a long list of Trojans targeting Linux ARM devices (such as Mirai, Umbreon rootkit, LuaBot, BashLite, and more). Linux has become the platform of choice for many Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and it’s no wonder cybercriminals are focusing on targeting it, as this provides them with a large attack surface.
