You can see the article in my "blog" area at http://www.mikeandchris.net/soap/get.php?sid=8 I will also include a reference to the PDF on the main Co-operation Ireland site, but that article will point to the official O'Reilly location.

[....] The study also reveals that Linux has become the most breached 24/7 online computing environment in terms of manual hacker attacks overall and accounts for 65.64% of all breaches recorded, with 154,846 successfully compromised Linux 24/7 online computers of all flavours. The number of successful manual hacker attacks against Microsoft Windows based online computers has remained steady and accounts for 25.19% of all breaches recorded, with 59,419 successfully compromised Windows targets of all versions. In sharp contrast, the number of successful hacker attacks against Mac OS X or BSD based online computers has demonstrated a declining trend and accounts for just 4.82% of all breaches recorded, with 11,370 successfully compromised BSD targets of all flavours including Apple."

These statistics don't seem to mean much; as I read it, they took a bunch of reported successful breakin attempts and from there determined which percentage of those breakins were committed on which operating system. I'd be interested to see the percentage of compromised hosts of a certain operating system in relation to the number of hosts of that operating system the medium and large entities deployed. I'm not familiar with this company; can anyone comment on its reputation? --CGDBiGfvSTbxKZlW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBh67/Aud/2YgchcQRAlN3AKCp/Cu+LEDSx6qwGatjwJiJgozdbACggAn8 4e2r7eDuN2rb9pI7EPlhd0s= =Nmc+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CGDBiGfvSTbxKZlW--
