Securities != Security forum, and while there is fewer malware in the wild, targeted attacks are likely still possible on Linux machines too.

As a developer, lets just clarify some points...
When a hacker makes a virus, The first thing He thinks is: how to spread his malware/trojan....
Hmmmm.... How many users with Windows/Linux/etc....
Well... The answer is obvious... Windows is far the most used OS... (Depending on The programming language He chooses, can be compiled for many OS without having to change de code).
No OS is secure when The user allow The program to run...
In Linux we say: dont run as root (but if you are installing a software that requires root/admin privilegies, and The software asks this permission to run, The user certanly will alow...)
After alowing to run as root/admin....
Your computer dont belongs to you anymore... Doesn't matter The OS.
Linux users are almost always good users, I mean, they read and interact with the OS in a different way than Windows users....

Let's help the OP with his title. I think he meant to say:
Regarding BTC, are Linux distros safer than other operating systems from trojan/virus attacks?

I would love to take a lesson on how to control ports. I have a dedicated machine that never gets any new software, never gets anything downloaded accept for websites and no adds, but I still feel like I'm a sitting duck without being able to control open ports on the fly.

mixing the terms "virus", "malware" and "trojan" like this just proves you aren't that good as developer, bro |
