I find these types of headlines very clever: it's click-bait, for sure, but you and I clicked it because we honestly thought there was some sort of nasty exploit out there. Linux is not safe from exploits or hacks but it wants you to be a responsible adult. You need to update your software frequently, make sure you know what you are installing and what you are doing. Ultimately, I think we need to move away from the marketing gimmicks that cry "ZOMG Z has no viruses and Y has so many and if you get anything it's your OS' fault" to a "be responsible and reasonable. Your OS is a tool".
