The comment section is better than the article. :)<br>

I was hacked once because I was running an upatched version of
either Apache or OpenSSH. A rootkit was installed.<br>
<br>
The other times I was hacked was because I did not change the root
password from password quickly enough during deployment or someone
placed a machine with a weak password on a DMZ without my
knowledge. That only happened maybe three times since 1994 when I
started doing this.<br>
<br>
During my career I have cleaned up numerous Windows machines of
malware, viruses, etc. This is a chore I can't stand doing and
typically I just force the user to reload the machine.<br>
<br>
From what I've experienced I prefer running Linux. :)<br>
<br>
I'm sure if someone really wanted too they could hack it, but most
of these hackers are too preoccupied with low hanging fruit
(Windows).<br>
