Microsoft Windows may be dominating the headlines for security-related breaches but the open-source Linux server operating system remains the biggest target of overt intruder attacks, according to a study by U.K.-based Mi2g.
Mi2g, which provides digital risk management research, said 67 percent of all successful overt digital attacks was done against the Linux OS, which has exploded in popularity but in the U.S. and abroad.
Attacks against Linux were three times higher than against Microsoft Windows, which accounted for 23.2 percent, Mi2g reported.
