Mainstream means more malicious code for Linux

It's not FUD, it's fact: Linux is every bit as susceptible to malicious code as Windows. Experts say the only difference between the two as attack vectors is the greater prevalence of Windows in enterprise data centers and on desktops. F-Secure Corp., a Finnish antivirus vendor, believes the problems for Linux may slowly escalate, as more CIOs and IT managers introduce Linux into their environments. In this interview, Jyrki Tulokas, business manager at F-Secure, explains the breadth of the current threat to Linux systems from malicious code and predicts how the landscape may change.
