Understanding Linux Vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities and attacks against Linux are creating business risks in a growing number of organizations — especially e-commerce companies, network and IT/security vendors, and cloud service providers that rely on Linux for many of their systems, including their own products. When Linux systems are hacked, the victim organizations can experience the same side effects as their Windows-using counterparts, including:
- Leakage of sensitive information
- Cracked passwords
- Corrupted or deleted databases
- Systems taken completely offline
