interesting stat. In the upper left corner of the page it shows that 68% of web site defacements were linux based. Could this be because if SQL injection or inherent weaknesses in the OS.
If it is SQL injection that i'd guess it's because more amateur coders use Open Source, therefore lesser emphasis on security. What do you think guys?
