The Sober worm (as usual, affects only Windows boxes) accounted for *5* percent of all email traffic last Friday ([url=http://news.com.com/Sober worm makes a comeback/2100-7349_3-5698411.html?tag=cd.lede]http://news.com.com/Sober worm makes a comeback/2100-7349_3-...[/url]) Why, if linux is infested with holes as mi2g and other fud-mongers insist, doesn't a linux worm cause at least 5% of all email traffic? Oh,wait, that one's easy: no software monoculture when it comes to mailers. Pine, Slypheed, Thunderbird, Evolution, mutt, nail, the list goes on virtually forever, compared to Windows, with its "wealth" of software, where basically two systems, Outlook and Outlook Express, constitute the only two mailers. Security fud-mongers: please wait until a Linux virus makes the Wild List (http://www.wildlist.org/WildList/) before telling me that the sky is falling. |
