  1. Hah, this is kinda funny... by coupland · · Score: 2, Troll

    That Linux trojan/virus writers have learned to aim at Linux sysadmins by taking control of very recent patches and adding trojan horses. Seems the best way to attack a Linux system is to try to interrupt the many vigilant admins as they faithfully download patches on the same day they're released... Windows trojans survive on the dearth of upgrades, not their spread...
