its potentially an issue for all linux distributions since almost all of them use linked libraries.

Being Italian. I would not sweat it.

Besides. Looks to anti governmental in nature. Grabbed from your link:

The malware’s targets are mostly entities engaging in the financial sector in Latin America, impersonating Brazilian banks, the country’s Federal police, etc

I notice favelas are not mentioned. I’ve been using antiX on my biker shop computer for years and never had a software problem induced by going online.
My shop computer is wireless also. Only time it broke was either hardware or my ineptness experimenting with poke and hope.

Not enough simple info supplied with these FUD links either. It is like reading surgeons texts on operations with only medical terms used. EG:
Simple is good and better.
My old blackberry sits in bag (their example snapshot showing hack). Was going to use it as a glorified movie and mp3 player.
Then the wife bought me a new phone.

Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.
Not all who Wander are Lost.
I'm not outa place. I'm from outer space.
