Malicious Go Modules Deliver Disk-Wiping Linux Malware in Advanced Supply Chain Attack

  • There's a reason why there's only privileged write access to /dev/sda.

    If you run unknown software as root on any computer you get to experience first hand the impact of: "fuck around and find out".

    • I mean, you can destroy users' data by doing the equivalent of:

       bash
          
      find "$HOME" -type f -delete
      
        

      No idea why they decided to write to /dev/* directly.
