I was just reading about this new malware threat. I'm not clear on how
exactly this thing can get installed on a Linux system. Would it require
100% social engineering? I installed Fedora on my elderly mother's last
two laptops so she can do her banking without being paranoid about
keyloggers, trojans, etc... She is a news hound, so it's only a matter
of time before she comes flying at me demanding reassurances.
Just tell her you installed a proxy on the computer and add some small
filtering to it so it would filter some sites and you will see how fast
she comes at you and asks for help while the computer still works 100% fine.

LOL! No! She's like the proverbial 5 year old who keeps asking "why is
the sky blue?" I really don't need to spend the next week explaining
proxies. She'll eventually stumble upon the words "open proxy" and then
start wondering if her computer has become part of a botnet.
