Linux, the trusted operating system for enterprise-scale infrastructure, is facing another significant security reckoning. Critical new vulnerabilities have been uncovered—ones that enable attackers to gain full root access, effectively seizing total control of affected systems.

Did you know that over 90% of public cloud workloads run on Linux? This widespread adoption underscores Linux’s reputation as the backbone of enterprise computing, powering everything from cloud-native applications and IoT infrastructure to edge devices and high-performance clusters.

In today’s hyper-connected digital ecosystem, businesses are more agile, innovative, and efficient than ever before. But this evolution comes at a steep price: supply chain cyberattacks are escalating in both frequency and sophistication. The very tools and vendors you trust to run your business could be the entry point for malicious actors.

The cyber threat landscape never sleeps—and neither do the adversaries behind it. In an era where most botnets are Linux-based and heavily target IoT devices, a new breed of malware has emerged, shifting the paradigm of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Known as HTTPBot, this new Windows-based botnet is engineered with precision and built to disrupt operations where it hurts most: in high-value, real-time digital interfaces. 

In the wake of the recent Pahalgam incidents, the focus has once again shifted to national security—and with it, the hidden battlefield of cyberspace. Though the core issue stems from the actions of terror outfits and not direct state-to-state aggression, the digital spillover is undeniable.
