Whilst others have said not to worry Linux is unaffected, I note from the ZDNET article about the CIA hacks database:- http://www.zdnet.com/article/leaked-documents-reveal-cia-hoarded-iphone-android-exploits/ "Many of the other exploits include Windows desktop and server operating systems, Macs, Linux machines, and other major enterprise software, such as VMware." Also as some one who manages content on some cloud based Linux servers, unless the CMS software is continually patched they get hacked, and I would be surprised if some of the recent exploits were not delivered by hacked Linux servers.. Linux itself is secure, but its very easy to make it insecure... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
