interesting read about linux security

Great article. Lot of scaremongering about computer security but much of it is hyped.

I think computer security is ripe for scaremongering. Most people have little understanding of computers and technology so are prone to believe what they're told, especially if it's presented in a believable way by a hip/attractive presenter. It doesn't have to be correct, just believable. This phenomenon isn't restricted to computers and technology unfortunately. A few hours watching American TV will illustrate the point.

Great article, thanks for sharing. Currently I use Lynis, Firetools/Firejail, ClamAV/ClamTK, and GUFW/UFW on my home Linux Box, each of which does NOT require the user to be a Linux System Administrator. My purpose for using these free tools is to reduce even more any possible risk.
