The HiddenWasp virus detected by security experts from Intezer Labs is currently attacking the most secure operating system that is Linux.

HiddenWasp behaves like a Trojan and is not detected by antivirus software. When the device is infected it takes control over it by sending and downloading files, as well as running Linux terminal commands.

According to the experts from Intezer Labs, the virus was probably written in China, due to the fact that Trojan communicates with servers operating in the Hong Kong region. In addition, it appears that HiddenWasp was created originally for espionage purposes.
