Massive comment spam attack on Digg.com leads to malware

Oh no!: Does the malware need root privileges?

That's a low blow really. If the intended victim of the malware was a Microsoft loaded system then Linux will not be affected by it. Linux does have security issues but the volume of attacks on Windows is not just a function of its ubiquity. It's also a function of its poor design.; Posted by: kozmcrae Posted on: 02/11/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
