Symantec Study Mischaracterizes Linux Spam

,----[ Quote ]
| So--the true source of the spam messages is 
| still most likely a compromised Windows PC--
| probably part of a massive botnet. However, 
| misconfigured, or poorly configured Linux 
| systems are being leveraged as relays which 
| hides the originating system, and skews the 
| results so that it appears that Linux is 
| responsible for spam that is more likely just 
| passing through.
