WIN2K is even easier to deface than NT | |

Firms upgrading their computer systems to the Windows 2000 operating systems from NT 4 are exposing themselves to greater security risks from Web site defacement. Records kept by security site Attrition.org indicate that an average of 55 per cent of Web site defacements so far this year are linked to exploitation of Windows NT operating systems vulnerabilities. Linux is the second most commonly hacked Web server and accounted for around 21 per cent of Web page defacement last month. However buried within these figures is a trend of increased exploitation of sites running Windows 2000. | ||

#1: QUOTE: "I love how the media makes up statistics" Even worse than the regular media is The Register, which purposely makes up "facts", or doesn't bother with facts at all! |

Also, the attrition list is heavily slanted so that it looks like Windows is the worst. They make sure that all Windows products are lumped together, artificially inflating the numbers. OTOH, they break out various Unixes and Linux. What's interesting is, despite the fact that all Windows are lumped together, Linux has still managed to beat out Windows for Top Number of Defacements/Month on several occasions. That's pretty sad for Linux |
