  In response to mahmud's question where he asked: > Why is this news? just see your /var/log/security To some extent this is some data in response to the question asked here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2313446 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2313446 I didn't post it there because it seems to stand alone and be of general interest, independently of that question. <fx: shrug> Usually people on HN can make their own deductions and draw their own conclusions, but I guess it might be better if someone writes a complete blog-post to explain all the relevant points. I'm not qualified, but I'm sure there's a great post underlying this raw data. Or your own.
