Careless oversight of Linux SSH servers draws cryptominers, DDoS bots

Cybercriminals are targeting poorly managed Linux SSH servers to install malware for cryptomining or carrying out distributed denial-of-service attacks, researchers have found. According to a report by AhnLab released this week, bad password management and lax vulnerability patching can allow hackers to exploit the servers for cybercrime. SSH servers provide secure remote access to a
