Never seen one, but then again, I don't run them personally, and I could probably count the number of them we have at work on my fingers. Anyone else with a bit more experience? I'd be interested as well.
I work for a fairly well known dedicated server provider. If I had to give a rough estimate, I'd say we're 40% Windows and 60% Linux environments. Not surprisingly, the number of boxes that get hacked (rooted entirely or not) is about equal between the two, however the purpose for which they're hacked is generally quite different.
80% of the hacked Linux boxes are used for UDP floods, things like that. Also IRC bots. Interestingly enough, in my 6 months working there, I don't believe I've ever seen a Windows box used for phishing. They're always used for FTP servers hosting movies/music/programs and/or IRC servers doing the same thing.
