"It's not FUD, it's fact: Linux is every bit as susceptible to malicious code
as Windows. Experts say the only difference between the two as attack vectors
is the greater prevalence of Windows in enterprise data centers and on
desktops. F-Secure Corp., a Finnish antivirus vendor, believes the problems
for Linux may slowly escalate, as more CIOs and IT managers introduce Linux
into their environments. In this interview, Jyrki Tulokas, business manager
at F-Secure, explains the breadth of the current threat to Linux systems from
malicious code and predicts how the landscape may change."
