"of course and it is not on desktop because it is too expensive" - by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday December 28, @11:01AM (#38515588)
Linux gets used less than Windows means it's not as good & PC marketshare shows it (Windows nearly 95% of it on desktops shows that much). I mean, Linux DEFIES business logic! I.E. -> EVEN WHEN GIVEN AWAY FREE IT CANNOT GET A LARGER MARKETSHARE THAN WINDOWS HAS (especially with desktop users).

Once it got more used as it is on smartphones, like Windows is on PC's? It began to be RAMPANTLY exploited, & yes - ANDROID is a Linux! So much for Linux fud on

This says it all for Linux "security"
"An in-depth analysis of the known C&C servers used in the Duqu attacks has found that some of the servers were compromised as far back as 2009, and that the attackers clearly targeted Linux machines" - Posted by Unknown Lamer on Wednesday November 30, @11:46AM
from the nsa-reads-slashdot dept. FROM THE MAIN ARTICLE ITSELFCurrent proof that Linux's NOT "invulnerable secure" yet again, & yes, that Linux does get targetted by malwares...
(Despite all the "FUD" you see & have seen for YEARS now on this website from the "Pro-*NIX/Penguinista" around here!)
Linux gets "hit" by the worst kind too, in these "blended-threat tech" types, that use rootkits that employ drivers + bogus bootsectors shown in this article today...
Plus - the entire LAMP stack doesn't do well http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/10/domains_lamped/
(especially Apache lately -> http://apache.slashdot.org/story/11/11/28/0335213/apache-flaw-allows-internal-network-access & earlier still here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/03/apache_website_breach_postmortem/ ).* Yes - Any OS' is securable, & far better than they come by default (yes, even SeLinux, but you have to go beyond its mere defaults to make it better, + MacOS X too (Apple produces guides for that in fact)), however/again:
The years of hearing how "secure" OpenSores/LAMP is around here was totally unrealistic & a blatant lie based on the information above, & yes, below next too!

Which is EXACTLY what they went after in CA's...
"Hackers and botnet owners would love to have access to the millions of always-on Linux servers" - by Dahamma (304068) on Monday November 21, @02:32PM (#38127520)
Per my subject-line above, & your statement quoted? That's EXACTLY what they went after in these 4 CA's:
Linux's showing in CA's breached recently too? Also very, Very, VERY BAD - this is SSL security oriented:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=StartCom.com
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=GlobalSign.com
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=Comodo.com
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=DigiCert.com

http://itproafrica.com/technology/security/cas-hacked/
and
http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/10/28/1954201/four-cas-have-been-compromised-since-june
---
* SO, what you're stating? DOES HAPPEN... & for the reasons you note!
(Plus, those are the kinds of targets that can SERIOUSLY mess up anyone doing SSL - hence the "WHY" of why they were targetted (think banking especially, OR, online commerce via a PC, & running linux or not, which for YEARS around here you heard was "so secure", is turning up exactly NOT that!))...

Again - All those years of hearing the typical FUD of "Linux = SECURE, & Windows != Secure" around here on
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/253340/20111121/android-malware-mcafee-mobile-nokia-symbian.htm
ANDROID's "taking the smartphone world by storm" & becoming the "Windows of smartphone world" as far as being attacked pretty much!
PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT: (From the "recent section here on
"With 550,000 Android devices activated each day, Google's mobile operating system "is clearly today's target" for cybercriminals."
It's JUST "common-sense", bigger target = more prevalent target to try hack/crack... & many on this pages' discussions point out the SAME reasoning too - more used, better target...
-
MacOS X, Linux, etc. AREN'T "PROOF"
Vs. exploits... far from it! RECENT SECURITY PROBLEMS DATA on MacOS X as of today:
http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/11/13/2152232/mac-os-x-sandbox-security-hole-uncovered
(There's many more too over time I could post, but that's just to make a point on what my subject-line states!)
HOWEVER... imo @ least, on MacOS X, since it has more usershare/marketshare than Linux does (especially with end users that are the types for being "suckered" by a email attached word doc this thing employs, weak though that method is imo)?
MacOS X's BETTER THAN LINUX OVERALL LATELY, on security... in fact, see below, VERY current data on that note!)

P.S.=> Yup - All those YEARS to DECADES of "Linux 'FUD'" spread around here of "Linux = Secure, Windows != Secure" is turning up complete BULLSHIT, & ANDROID (A linux because it uses a Linux kernel) especially shows everyone what a crock of complete crap that campaign all was & that once Linux DID get a decent share of market on a platform, it's security 'swiss cheese', period...
Yea... 'security-by-obscurity', which is NOT REAL SECURITY, was what you were trading on to mislead others (to no avail, because your marketshare on the desktop shows your failure on that account also, even WHEN LINUX IS A FREEBIE, it can't win, due to inferior design in comparison to Windows in the eyes of others out there -> http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=8&qpcustomd=0 )...

Haven't had enough yet? Ok, more:
You also failed to omit that Jeremy Reimer and his friend Jay Little pursued me to troll me at Windows IT Pro magazine's forums, and got THEIR ASSES KICKED on the fact that Exchange Servers can be "unfrozen" by memory optimizers
(The topic @ hand there no less, and Little (reimer's henchman "expert", lol - NOT) claimed literally to be an "EXPERT ON EXCHANGE")...
Reimer was off topic the ENTIRE TIME no less, and I also caught Jarrett DeAngelis (doctoral candidate then @ Notre Dame, another "henchman" of Reimer's because he's too stupid & uneducated in computing to try it himself vs. myself) lying on his real name, which he admitted in the end, and he AGREED with a GOOD 99% of what I stated also. Reimer ended up being tracked on tracking tickets by his ISP Shaw Canada too, & backing off in his trolling (especially when law enforcement came into it).
In the end? Reimer was no longer allowed to write for Arstechnica, especially after being caught impersonating NOT ONLY MYSELF, but also a Mr. Martin Meszaros who publicly denounced Reimer there.
On Thor SCHMUCK?
Ha - (unlike other sources) refused to remove a program of mine (that was down graded to ZERO THREAT LEVELS later mind you by CA) from a list he kept!
I found out later HE IS THE ONE WHO SUBMITTED IT TO CA, & he could not prove any malicious intent in its code (funny CA didn't list PING, because it could issue a "ping of death" OR Spybot Search & Destroy which alters a HOSTS file (a criteria of theirs no less)).
Small wonder CA sold off their PC utilities division - it was junk, no matter HOW MANY LIES THEY TOLD OF OTHERS in their wares & HOW THEY WERE CAUGHT IN ACCOUNTING SCANDALS PER MY LAST POST PROOF THEREOF !
(What they did to myself? Hey - That wasn't me alone either, folks like Nir Sofer of NIRSOFT had this happen, and lo & behold, in the past so has Dr. Mark Russinovich on his ps tools suite!).
No, after the ABOVE? LMAO - It's clear you are here and that you are trying to adhominem attack me as a "last resort" & failing like your usual... lol!
APK
P.S.=> Still - CAT'S OUTTA THE BAG ABOUT LINUX SECURITY, especially CURRENTLY, per the below (Especially "Schroedinger's cat especially, no longer in a "super-positional wave state" of doubt as to his dead/alive state, but in Linux's case. security state, lol - per what's next below that YOU WON'T EVEN TRY TOUCH, lol!):

Then, there's ANDROID, and it's showing security-wise, piss poor...
(It DEFINITELY helps show us all that all the FUD on

P.S.=> So, std./"OEM STOCK" Linux isn't the answer... @ least NOT a non-security hardened one (& I mean above + beyond just std. SeLinux even)
NOW... I noted CIS Tool for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 & yes, even Windows 7/Server 2008 have it, here in my other posting to GameBoyRMH -> http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2514010&cid=37985822
THERE IS ALSO A BUILD OF CIS TOOL FOR LINUX VARIANTS AS WELL, look into it...
That is, IF you're after that "custom security hardened build" he notes should be used (which he's right about, because I've done pretty much the same thing for Windows really, & it's worked for myself since 1996, & that post shows others doing the same since 2008 onwards)...

You're FULL OF IT, that advisory says
This, verbatim -> Solution Secunia is currently not aware of an updated kernel version addressing the vulnerabilities.
Also, if Linux is SO SECURE, then why did all of these breaches happen on it recently?
4/5 CA's breached recently ran Linux (from http://itproafrica.com/technology/security/cas-hacked/ & slashdot's recent article on digicert):

An answer (on security, & Linux specifically)
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this) - this is, how it REALLY is. All the "fud" you heard on
There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE
-
This is about SECURITY
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

Since you in the business of "ribbing on Windows", well, then it's my "civic duty" to show even MORE CURRENT INFORMATION about Linux being "so secure" (not):

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!
APK
P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...
