“Stealthy” Worms, Trojans Seen Tripling In Number

SecurityPipeline.com

Just as PCs in enterprises are infested with spyware, we’re seeing a surprise in more malicious activity… are you surprised? I think this is a wakeup call for alternate clients and increased use of Linux. I love OS X and who doesn’t like Gentoo?

I had to laugh when Zotob ran wild… When was the last time you heard about Linux worms taking companies down? And Linux has the largest presence on the front line where these Linux servers are just begging to be hacked. And yet they haven’t been… the most vulnerable is the least exploited… hmmm…. maybe this open development model is really working -> do more eyes on code actually improve security?? Revolutionary!
