Almost 2,500 firms breached in ongoing hack attack

  I'm guessing this doesn't affect firms that use unix based OSes? I wonder if companies will ever switch over to unix/linux for the security benefits. At some point will it be so obvious running windows is a huge liability that companies will be pressured by stock holders to not allow windows on their computers? One can dream right?

    All that will realistically happen then is that criminal hackers will focus on linux. The solution is to have solid security and to be alert :)

      I know but it's a lot harder to have solid security on Windows than on Linux, right?

        Errrm. Sorta. It's still relatively trivial to infect a Linux machine - especially if you have an end user on there :)
