I think he is talking about cryptomining malware rather than a ransomware piece.

I'd personally just restore from the lattest known clean backup if any, and do what
somebody else has recommended: apply security updates and try to ensure they don't
break in the same way again.

Using Unix utilities from within a compromised system is not a great idea. Rootkits
may make evil software undetectable. If you ust scan an infected system, it is usually
better to just image it and scan the image from a known good system instead.
