Wasn't there a worm recently that exploited mySQL?

wot only 3,500+ *nix boxes out of 20+ million!
how many million win$ux boxes are affected by the myriad of nasties daily encountered when you run the demon OS?
Peleeease!
I am constantly asked to help people rid their Redmond based evil-OS systems of trojans/worms/virii and spyware.
I, like many other responsible nix users, run a firewall, update regularly to
prevent intrusions and maintain the security of my *nix boxes and run a
virus checker to make sure I don't pass on any win$ux nasties to other win$ux
users I correspond with.
I have been running *nix systems for 2 years now and never have I been unable
to use my systems because of trojans/worms/virii and spyware problems.
My house recently became an "MS OS" free site with 3 boxes running Mdk9.1 and 1 box running MDK9.2 cooker. Shite!! that means I owe SCO heaps of pesos! LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH (which they can claim from my estate - behind all of my other creditors).
In the last week there are now 3 more *nix converts in my circle of aquaintences
who are amazed that they no longer have continual problems with intrusions to their
boxes.
- vive la penguinistas!!
