FYI, folks,

Excerpt:
Linux Australia discovered the breach on March 24 after it noticed
conference management software it uses called Zookeepr started sending a
large number of error reporting emails, Hesketh wrote. A server had been
attacked two days prior.

“It is the assessment of Linux Australia that the individual utilized a
currently unknown vulnerability to trigger a remote buffer overflow and
gain root level access to the server,” Hesketh wrote.

The attacker installed a remote access tool and then botnet command and
control software.
