"Once the trojan has a foothold on the system it uses one of two privilege escalation exploits CVE-2016-5195 (also known as Dirty COW) and CVE-2013-2094 to get root permissions and have full access to the OS."
Is this really malware that is targeting systems that haven't been patched in two years?

You're on slashdot referencing another slashdot article. Not an article from days or months ago, but the previous one on the front page!! Can't you link to that article? https://hardware.slashdot.org/...

"Another question, if the maneuver was deliberate, is whether the US government informed Russia or other international partners on the space station. The Russian segment of the station controls the thrusters that generally are used to maneuver the station away from orbital debris, so such coordination might seem prudent."

I just bought a 2016 (seriously? 2016 model year already? yes.) Ford Fusion. I was really wanting to go with a hybrid/electric, but the reasons I didn't: 1) It will take about 6 years at even 3$/gallon of gas to recover the extra cost So yeah, that's it.

The tax break is **up to** 7500. For the Fusion as a plug in hybrid, the tax break is 4000$: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/fe... and that was on the top of the line car, Fusion Energi. When we asked the salesman about any tax breaks or refunds, he had to ask his manager and he said it was only 250$.

The article says they're using a Red Hat Satellite server and so if they wanted to run `yum update -y && init 6` on all of their systems, they could just push that out as a remote command to the systems / groups of systems. In Satellite, you can push out remote commands to groups of systems, so if they have their systems grouped, it would be an easy process to push that command to all of their systems.
