Linux won the day as the more secure alternative to Windows, but now its popularity has made it vulnerable, according to Akamai.
A decade ago, Linux was seen as the more secure alternative to Windows environments, which suffered the lion's share of attacks at the time, and companies increasingly adopted Linux as part of their security-hardening efforts," Akamai notes.
