How to avoid being a phishing Webserver admin

Publication:ZDNet AsiaDate:Feb 26 2008

In October I discussed the way people tend to misinterpret phishing botnet statistics. The key point was that people saw that many of the phishing Web sites were on Linux servers, and somehow leaped to the conclusion this meant Linux desktops were parts of the botnets sending out phishing emails. The truth is that the phishing Web sites are where you are directed by the emails, which then infect your MS Windows computer, recruiting it into the phishing email botnet.
