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.
In other words, he seems to contradict the comforting analysis given
here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus (on account of which
I, and probably many other 'buntu users, are not running resident
anti-virus protection).
If he's right, we should not be reassured but alarmed (though not by the
Hand of Thief at the moment).

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.

I understand that with a standard Ubuntu/Lubuntu installation not
running Wine, it is believed that there are no active threats that
would responsibly require resident anti-virus protection.
That may still be true today, but perhaps it won't be for too much
longer. See the last 3 paragraphs of this article:
