Linux holds out against attackers
Linux holds out against attackers – ZDNet UK News
The data, from a dozen networks, showed that the average Linux system lasts three months before being compromised, a significant increase from the 72 hours life span of a Linux system in 2001. Unpatched Windows systems continue to be compromised more quickly, sometimes within minutes, the Honeynet Project report stated.
Honeynet deploys computers on the net in the hopes they get compromised. They’re used for research to learn how the break-ins happen and how to stop them down the road.

The Apple computers, it would seem, are outside the scope of this report. Pity.

It’s probably a good thing.
