Why in the heavens would you reboot obviously badly administrated machines quite literally half across the globe if you otherwise took every initiative to not harm the target machines and keep your foot print as small as possible? (lowest possible priority, watchdog) Killing the process and removing the files should have been more than enough and you just don't know what a reboot could do to these systems; regardless of how much the admins of those machines are to blame.
- smcl 14y agoIt doesn't say that he reboots the compromised machines, just that if the sysadmin happens to reboot then the bot would disappear.
- kahawe 14y agoDoh, now that you point that out... I misunderstood it. Thank you.
- donbox5 14y agoI hope they did not infect any medical device e.g. a ventilator.
- entropy_ 14y agoI hope there are no medical devices(e.g. a ventilator) accessible from the public internet with a default password.
- JoachimSchipper 14y agoHope, or expect?
- entropy_ 14y agoUnfortunately, only hope.
