Since Linux is deployed on many IoT (Internet of Things) devices and cloud infrastructures, we are likely to see DDoS (distributed denial-of-system) attacks from botnets that have compromised such devices. The only simple (yet effective) tactic it uses is to brute force its way to gain root access to various Linux architectures.
