Over the past two years, there have been a total of 25 thousand Linux servers in the world, undertaking data hosting services. However, according to ESET security statistics, more than half of the Linux servers have been infected and infiltrated.

ESET points out that the current data is of great significance.

These Linux servers process a large number of bandwidth, storage, data computing, and memory switching tasks every day. Cyber criminals use infected Linux servers to steal account creden。, redirect network traffic, point to malicious website content, and send various types of spam.

Currently, the affected regions include Germany, Britain, France, and the United States.

According to the conservative estimates of ESET, these infected Linux servers bring millions of access traffic to malicious websites every day, and cyber criminals can send 0.35 billion million spam mails each day.
