Disclaimer: I am long time user of desktop Linux and a frequent poster on this site. I believe Linux to be significantly more secure than Windows. But there is a limit, and some real dangerous turf for those who are arrogant and imprudent. Smart people NEVER do anything with junk mail of ANY KIND other than to delete it. Legitimate institutions do not advertise their wares via junk mail. Crooks do. And they don't really care what OS I am using. They only need stuff like credit card information and Linux can deliver that to them every bit as efficiently as Windows.
