It's one of those ones where you have to install niche software and then not keep an eye on what your system is actually doing, isn't it?

Actually, that's pretty much it. According to the article, it attacks a specific piece of ecommerce software (Magento), and I get the impression the attack isn't viable if the software has all the latest fixes. So it's dangerous only to a subset of servers.
