No operating system is bulletproof

According to ZDNet Australia someone hacked the Debian servers. Debian may not be the most secure of the Linuxes - they've been hacked before - but they are one of the most popular of the many flavors of Linux. Security is one of the selling points for Linux as well as other non-Windows OS'es such a Apple's OS X. This just points up that no matter what OS you use security is ultimately your responsibility. So lock down your system with only the services you need, get a virus checker to protect against that threat, and use the most secure browser you can find (I like Flock - download it here.)

Be alert and don't trust anything you get online without double checking it. Stay secure and stay safe.
