Breakdowns of Website Defacement by Platform

SkiifGeek writes "Zone-H have recently posted the statistical breakdown of the collected website defacements from the last few years. Surprisingly, in 2007 more Linux servers suffered a successful attack than all versions of Windows, combined. Similarly, more Apache installations were successfully attacked than all IIS versions combined. A day after posting this data, Zone-H have questioned the appropriateness of continuing to operate the archive. Despite the valuable information that can be gleaned from the service, it may soon be lost to the world. The natural successor to the now-defunct Alldas archive of defaced websites, Zone-H's archive maintains records of over 2.6 million defaced sites but may be shut down due to the continuous accusations of impropriety leveled against them any time they disclose and mirror a reported defacement."

if you lump windows into one category, its easily TWO TO THREE TIMES greater than Linux. I was going to say "I don't want to be rude", but I'm actually okay with it. Bearing that in mind...

What the fuck are you talking about?

Linux - 306,076
All Windows combined - 139,503

Did you accidentally smash your head in with a frying pan while you were adding things together?

The vomit-inducing purple colour they chose for the Apache section leads me to pray that it has in fact been defaced... and that some kind, generous soul will come along and change it to something that doesn't make me want to forcibly rip my eyes out of my skull.
