I never talked about attacks. I simply pointed out that malware exists for ALL platforms and that platforms CAN be hit. And all your lies, your condescension and now your yelling doesn’t change what I said or the simple truth that the problem of malware is universal in its presence, all that changes is the level of vulnerability. And if you think there are no effective viruses against Unix you’re an idiot.
And I replied that all that matters is whether the malware can actually DO something other than fail against proper robust defense. If it is not effective, then it's just pissing against the door, and therefore IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. Got that? NOT. A. PROBLEM.
Simple analogy: Your car's engine generates heat. If you don't get rid of the heat, the engine will break. So you properly design the engine to include a cooling system. Now, as long as you maintain the system, HEAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. I'm not saying that there's "no heat". WE AGREE THAT THE HEAT IS THERE. I'm saying that "the heat is dealt with by proper design".
Got that analogy? Car = operating system. Heat = malware. Cooling system = proper design. OK??? Unix is properly designed for robustness. Windows, even after all these years, is not. That's why a properly patched Windows system is STILL VULNERABLE while Unix is not.
> And if you think there are no effective viruses against Unix you’re an idiot
That epithet was uncalled for. It's also inaccurate.
I challenged you to name four viruses that are effective against Unix since 2000 and succeeded in infecting a few thousand systems. You failed to name even ONE virus that is effective against a properly patched Unix system.
Call me an idiot? Name the viruses that have infected a few thousand properly patched Unix systems since 2000. NOW. And don't pull the crap you did before about ancient unpatched systems or Linux. We're talking about Unix, relatively recent, properly patched.
