Dont browse sketchy sites on accounts having write access to files.

Intezer determined that the initial attack vector for the campaigns is SSH brute-force attacks, so administrators should take care to update their credentials with strong passwords in order to avoid an infection.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing, don't directly open ports to the server (ie: SSH.  Ports open to apps (Plex) is ok)

That's good to know.

I don't have any open ports and Plex is only accessable on the network.

I don't run vms

Thank you.
