More Attacks on Linux than Windows

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the activate-the-shield-array dept.

the special sauce writes "This vnunet.com article discusses the trend of attacks this year as compared to last. Over all, according to mi2g, attacks are on the rise. However, though attacks on Linux systems are up, attacks on Windows based systems have actually dropped dramatically when compared to last year. If the trend continues, by the end of the year, attacks on Linux systems may surpass attacks on Windows systems."

    That article is a waste of time.
    - They fail to define an "attack".
    - They fail to scale figures for deployed boxes (i.e. twice as many OSS web servers should get twice as many attacks).
    - They deride OSS admins for slowly applying patches without looking at the closed-source admins.
    - The article has a popup window ad. Death to them!
