The majority of cloud infrastructure is run on Linux.
You're saying there's no need to hack Linux when it's easier to hack Windows, and therefore Microsoft has better security fundamentals as the providers of a less secure but more prevalent OS? I don't follow the argument.
- com2kid 2y agoIf someone has a 0 day backdoor to Windows, they can steal the credentials from the employees who are logging into those Linux servers. Many high value servers don't have public IPs, and the really juicy ones are behind jump boxes. At that point the OS on the server isn't relevant.
