Would the backdoor have affected any Debian Linux web servers or cloud
environments?
Also how bad is the actual backdoor? Does the backdoor activate on your
system while you’re writing it to be a part of the binary of another
program? Also with targeting x86-64 does it just mean Linux computers that
use x86-64?

- 1 million top web servers use Linux
- Linux powers most of Global Cloud Environment
- 500 supercomputers use Linux
- Android is based off Linux
