FontOnLake, a new Linux malware
However, it currently is found in only SE Asia. About 15 years ago, when Kapersky and other AV makers were trying to convince Linux users that they needed proprietary, costly AV protection, I examined many of the 425 supposed Linux viruses listed in their various databases. Without exception they all were of "low risk", and even more revealing, were found on 3 or less computers. That low of an exposure is the same as saying "we made this in our lab and it is not out in the wild." This malware has the same smell. But, I'll leave that for you to decide for yourself.

They do not know how this malware infects Linux machines. One test to determine if you've been infected is:
If that command returns nothing then you are not infected. If it returns your dbus port you are.
Know you know all I know about it.
