RE: [e-com-sec] e mail viruses

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was talking about viruses... not hacking. There are few viruses that
affect the *nix platform. Yes there are many holes that Crackers (NOTE:
Hackers just find the holes and get them fixed. Crackers exploits the hole
to do damage.) like to take advantage of, but that wasn't the scope of the
thread.

or there are more holes in Linux.
