“Do you know which operating system your Web server’s running?
If the answer is Linux, there’s an increasing chance your home page
will be attacked.”
“According to statistics gathered by security research group
Attrition, Linux-based Web sites are four times more likely to
suffer online vandalism than just three months ago.“
“As a member of Attrition, Matt (Munge) Dickerson has kept track
of defacements for more than a year.”
“In May it stood at about 50 defacements to the Linux operating
system per month. Then it jumped in August to over 200 defacements.
When you stand back and look at the numbers that’s a big increase,”
Dickerson says.”
