Linux won the day as the more secure alternative to Windows, but now its popularity has made it vulnerable, according to Akamai.

A decade ago, Linux was seen as the more secure alternative to Windows environments, which suffered the lion's share of attacks at the time, and companies increasingly adopted Linux as part of their security-hardening efforts," Akamai notes.

"As the number of Linux environments has grown, the potential opportunity and rewards for criminals has also grown. Attackers will continue to evolve their tactics and tools and security professionals should continue to harden their Linux based systems accordingly," Akamai concludes.

Akamai provides details on removal and remediation of the threat here.
