Outbound traffic rate

Have a Linode which is almost dormant start receiving notifications about the Outbound traffic rate exceeding thresholds. Any pointers to track the cause?

CentOS 7.5

Public Outbound Traffic
Max 994.20 Mb/s
Average 35.50 Mb/s

SSH in and check using ps faux and iftop. Your VM probably got compromised.
