“Hackers are shrewd businessmen, so the more that Linux is found in the corporate data centre, running mission-critical systems, the more incentive there is to invest time and money in trying to compromise Linux. There’s simply more for hackers to gain and that means more reasons for users to spend more time and money securing Linux,” she says.
