<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Actually, though his conclusion is that
the Hand of Thief Trojan threat is blown way out of proportion, he
speaks as if Linux is already subject to many threats that are
much more serious than the Hand of Thief.<br>
<br>
In other words, he seems to contradict the comforting analysis
given here: <a
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus</a>
(on account of which I, and probably many other 'buntu users, are
not running resident anti-virus protection).<br>
<br>
If he's right, we should not be reassured but alarmed (though not
by the Hand of Thief at the moment).<br>

<div>You may want to check out this youtube video about the
"Hand of Thief Trojan". This vlogger(Quidsup) seems to have
his head wrapped around it pretty good.<br>

with a standard Ubuntu/Lubuntu installation not

That may still be true today, but perhaps it won't
be for too much longer. See the last 3 paragraphs
of this article:<br>
