Thousands of Linux systems are likely infected with the highly elusive and persistent “perfctl” (or “perfcc“) cryptomining malware and many others still could be at risk of getting compromised, Aqua Security researchers revealed.

“In all the attacks observed, the malware was used to run a cryptominer, and in some cases, we also detected the execution of proxy-jacking software,” they shared.
