Claims that open-source operating systems such as Linux are inherently more secure than Windows took a beating recently when Zone-H.org, an online group that collects attack information, released graphic representations of the Web-server intrusions against various operating systems between January 2003 and January 2004. In most months under review, Linux operating systems were successfully attacked far more often than Windows. @ More information on the Zone-H.org data is available via SM Online.
