They're all insecure, because the internet infrastructure designed years ago is
insecure. Nobody then imagined how innovative the bad guys would be in using
the internet, and computers in general, to their advantage. So they can make
money from us.

And as soon as *nix et al gain market share, so will the spyware, viruses, and
other attacks on those systems.
