Just thought I'd share this zdnet.com article with the community.
Not fully understanding the security implications of this for the average linux user like myself, but perhaps those more technically proficient amongst us could shed some more light on the subject. Here are the relevant links -

Footnote:
It seems Linux servers (without a 2013 security patch/plugin) could be exploited to turn them into cryptocurrency miners.
Was just thinking - knowing about this could help protect the new LL server from similar exploitation.
