According to Patrick Wardle, this malware persists a python script as a cron job.
Steps:
1. Python installer first saves any existing cron jobs into a temporary file named '/tmp/dump'.
2. Appends its new job to this file.
3. Once the new cron job has been added 'python (~/.t/runner.pyc)' runs every minute.
