These are worms that have infiltrated Linux servers in recent months, commandeering the servers for use in distributed denial-of-service attacks. Linux enthusiasts who once believed they were less vulnerable to attack than Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) users have begun to wonder whether they were overly optimistic http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/printer/19649/ Blasphemy!

Rbreb13 Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Linux probly isn't as secure as most people think. It's just that its a least likely target as more people use MicroShaft products. Why target thousands of PC's when you can target millions with the same effort.
