Which appears to be coming from a Windows' or Mac world.
A Linux machine can be cracked into... but it takes a very concentrated effort, such as social cracking, weak pass words, etc.
Linux is different from Windows or Mac, in that the system is hardened, whether it be the SELinux layer in Fedora or root disabled in Ubuntu. ClamAV on Linux, is to scan for threats to Windows machines - so as, you do not pass on malware to a friend using Windows, such as through an email.
And I would offer that there are several
honey pot projects out there - people placing a Linux machine on the web with the challenge to crack it. Difficult to do, and a learning process to further harden Linux.
You would not do this with a Windows or Mac machine - in fact, most come loaded with third party protection programs to activate before you get on the web
