JAKARTA - Kaspersky recently announced the backdoor variant of DinodasRAT, which allows cybercriminals to monitor and control the compromised system secretly.

Targeting Linux devices, this new malware has been actively infiltrating organizations in China, Taiwan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan since at least October 2023.

To protect yourself from threats like DinodasRAT, Kaspersky experts recommend the following tips:

Regular Security Audit: Conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify weaknesses or gaps in the security posture of your organization. Handle any findings immediately to mitigate risks.

Employee Alert: Encouraging employees to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious emails, links, or activity to the IT or security team. Provide a clear channel to report incidents anonymously if necessary.

Use a security solution: Investing in comprehensive security solutions to protect against the latest security threats.

Safe Long Distance Access: If employees need to remotely access the company's resources, make sure that remote access methods, such as virtual private networks (VPNs) or secure remote desktop protocols, have been configured and properly secured to prevent unauthorized access.
