I think it would be naive to assume that just because you use Linux or a UNIX OS that you are immune to vulnerabilites/backdoors and malicious code. With an increase of Linux and UNIX based OSes now connecting to the Internet, all these folks who have been running their malicious code need to continue... expect them to use whatever they find connected to the Internet... even our trusted Linux/UNIX OS.
M$'s DLL-hell may make them an easier target, but it should not mean that Linux/UNIX is immune On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 10:58 AM, Janosch Maier <[email protected]>wrote: > Heard about it already. > That is why you should only install programmes from trusted sources ;-) > On gnome-look.org for example was some time ago a “screensaver” > downloading malicious software from the net after installing.
