Wired News: Real Story of the Rogue Rootkit
There have been many stories about this topic and this one is the best I have run across. It is written by one of the best authors in the realm of Information Security out there; Bruce Schnier. It is a must read if you are interested in the topics of DRM, Malware, Security, etc.
But I am wondering something. The argument about Linux being more secure is often refuted by those who remind us about the math behind market share. When 97 percent of the desktop users are running Windows, of coarse they will be attacked the most. But what if even 50 percent of the desktops in this world were running a combination of Linux, Mac, BSD and so on.....would there be problems like this?
I suppose you first have to accept this as being a problem. Read the article and please, form an opinion.
