FreakOut Bot exploits Linux systems

 A new Internet Relay Chat (IRC) called FreakOut exploited vulnerabilities to attack denial of service and cryptomining attacks on Linux systems. The bot was activated in November 2020 and already has 300 users and five channels. Once compromised, the systems are used for spreading the attacks across the victim's enterprise networks and beyond.
