Security: FOSS/CSS Updates - Are They Worth Anything?
,----[ Quote ]
| It appears from my experience that the
| majority of non-technical end-users who
| end up with infected systems fall into the
| first category. The second category is a
| smaller group that have just been lucky to
| not yet have an infected PC. These two
| categories of users are almost all
| Microsoft operating system users. The
| latter two categories are the small group
| of users that are more technical and/or
| security conscious. The more security
| conscious but non-technical are usually
| those who have had to deal with a prior PC
| infection. The latter two categories
| rarely or never see an infection. The Open
| Source community of Linux users is
| generally more technical at this point and
| thus more likely to take updates
| seriously.

| Chris Boyd, malware researcher at Sunbelt
| Software, claimed that as Scribd allows
| users to share written content online,
| converting PowerPoint, PDFs and Word
| documents into web documents that can be
| viewed through sites such as Facebook and
| other social networking services, it was
| inevitable that a scammer would decide to
| use such a service for foul means.
