Personally, I think that is the point. It's not true to say "Windows suffers from this mode of attack and Linux does not". It's just easier to do it with Windows at the moment. Once again this whole episode demonstrates that social engineering can be more powerful than security engineering. My in-laws recently visited, and toured NZ. They asked about internet cafes in general. I told them that they can be found pretty much anywhere, and they'd be able to access their web mail, but not to do anything sensitive like on-line banking. Afterwards I thought to myself that I must have sounded like a paranoid, and in fact I was unsure that such a warning was justified. Now I know. Andy
