[Nolug] An actual Linux trojan!!!

"All the files in the home directory of the current user are deleted,
recursing into subdirectories."

My sister's PC got wiped out by a virus a few of weeks ago. The
disk was erased, including all the data from my brother-in-law's
business. Took 2 weeks to get it put back to virgin status.

That incident I think won a convert to mozilla...

/If/ I were to be sucessfully attacked by this trojan, I'd log in
as root and restore my ~, and go about my business.
