CoreFusionX326348dIf apple were to dominate the non -woke, non-retarded-corporate world, and they got any real traction, I would like to see these people's reaction when malware makers started to target their system if only, because they could expect better returns on their investment.

Demolishun3288648d@CoreFusionX I got to thinking. Linux being used for servers might actually have a similarly large attack surface as Windows. Linux users are not near as many, but people/bots like to attack servers. Do servers get attacked more than desktops?

Overall, Linux is used more for servers than windows, yes.
But now, stop and really think about attack vectors.
The vector for, say, a bank, is not their Linux server. It's the stupid accountant running, of course, windows, that has access to whatever a hacker would need.
"Attack surface" is not just "how many ways I have to hack my target directly". It also accounts for all manners of indirect access, which is why social engineering is actually a thing nowadays.
