  At least some years ago Linux was the second OS with the most security
vulnerabilities found each year (probably no need to mention which OS the
one with the most). I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case today as
well.

  It's not like systems like Linux don't have security bugs to be exploited
(either by hackers or by malware).
