[Xitami] A Hack Attempt or What?

[Qwest]

Your guess would be wrong.  According to the SANS institute, only 18% of my
security issues are MS specific.  The largest majority are Unix/Linux holes
(67%) followed by SUN, Netware, and other misc. OSs.  You see more press on
MS products because so many people use them.  If people didn't want MS
products then MS wouldn't exists, but then who would we have to bitch about?

I would guess that 99.9% of the Internet's viruses and worms are
distributed and propagated courtesy of Microsoft.

The best way to protect yourself is to avoid all Microsoft products.
