I take this as an indication that LINUX is becoming more and more popular.........
STUDY SHOWS INCREASE IN LINUX ATTACKS, DECREASE FOR MICROSOFT A new study from U.K. company Mi2g shows a significant increase in successful attacks on Linux systems for the first half of the year, compared to a 20 percent decline in successful attacks against systems running Microsoft's Internet Information Server. Mi2g's data showed an increase of more than 30 percent, from 5,736 to 7,630, in successful Linux attacks and an overall increase in attacks of 27 percent. The study is based on Mi2g's coverage of more than 600 hacker groups and 60,000 hacking attempts since 1995, including data from the Computer Security Institute and the FBI. The study also shows significant declines in successful attacks against U.K. and U.S. governments, attributing the change in part to increased security efforts since September 11.
