Study Finds Attacks On Open Source Increasing; Windows Decreasing

London-based consulting firm mi2g reports 7,630 digital attacks
on Linux systems in the first six months of 2002 vs. 5,736 attacks
on Linux systems for all of 2001. Conversely, attacks on Microsoft
Windows/IIS have fallen by 20 percent in the first six months of 2002
to 9,404 compared to 11,828 in the same period of 2001.

&cs=3D2045 [Editor's Note (Schultz): The credibility of data such as
 these is at best questionable.  For one thing, can mi2g say
 unequivocally that they standardized and applied a consistent
 definition of "attack?" Additionally, attacks in and of themselves are
 commonplace.  What about "successful attacks."  Caveat emptor!]
