detecting Linux.Ekoms.1
So the big news is a malware for Linux designed to take screenshots every 30 seconds that has been found in the wild called Linux.Ekoms.1.
For more information see this link:

To assist in detection and cleaning, I wrote a quick script to test for the malware existence and notify you.
You can run the script like this:
bash <(curl -s bman.io/i/detect_ekoms)
The code is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
# Quick and dirty check for ekoms existence. - bman@bman.io
check_ekoms() {
if [ -e "$HOME/.config/autostart/%exename%.desktop" ]; then
echo 'Possible infection found. You should run a full scan of all disk partitions.
To clean, you can download a free trial of Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux here:
http://products.drweb.com/linux/?lng=en'; exit 1;
else
echo "Linux.Ekoms.1 not found. System clean."; exit 0;
fi
}
check_ekoms;
