[PLUG] Hiding Windows malware in WSL and running it with WINE


https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwwexa/windows-10s-built-in-linux-shell-could-be-abused-to-hide-malware-researchers-say
...
What's interesting about Bashware is that attackers don't have to write malware programs for Linux in order to run them through WSL on Windows. Thanks to a program called Wine, they can use the technique to directly hide known Windows malware.
...
The good news is that in order to use Bashware, attackers need to already have administrator privileges on their victims' computers.
...

Wow,
