| Hell hath no fury like Linux scorned |

The controversy surrounding a negative Linux security report lingered this week after the author issued an open letter to the media and an Australian firm weighed in with fresh criticism.
Linux supporters claimed they were justified in attacking the report from Mi2g Ltd., a London-based security and risk management firm, when it claimed Linux was the "most breached" operating system. The authors of the report claimed their research was sound.
The original report cited information gathered from a 12-month period ending in October. It stated that 65% of security breaches for online computers happened on Linux machines, while 25% of breaches occurred on machines running Microsoft applications.
