As for security, the cess pit is weak security not on Linux, BSDs and others etc. but on M$. It seems to be incredibly easy for one malicious person to launch attacks from machines they control all over the world - and those machines just happen to be running M$. Breaking into M$ machines seems to be t-o-o easy so I suspect it is not password weaknesses that are being exploited !
This is not correct and a dangerous assumption to make about real and current threats.
What is incorrect ? The fact that one person can control many computer systems - home and business - all around the world ?
That the same person can launch exactly the same attacks on my mail servers and the same attacks on my web servers from different machines all around the world ?
That the machines being used for the attacks just happened to be running M$ ?
That every day I witness the attacks on my systems ?
Your security practice, as you have described it, is poor.
Rubbish.
If you have been compromised, you may not be aware of it.
I really do think I would because of the systems I run. Please do not judge my standards by standards you may be familiar with.
A compromise of your systems weakens the whole community.
I'm am sure that is not true.
