Test Shows How Vulnerable Unpatched Windows Is

It’s official, boys and girls: it’s easier to kick in a door when it’s open. “A test has revealed that a Linux server is far less likely to be compromised. In fact, unpatched Red Hat and SuSE servers were not breached at all during a six-week trial, while the equivalent Windows systems were compromised within hours. However, patching does make a difference. Patched versions of Windows fared far better, remaining untouched throughout the test, as did the Red Hat and Suse deployments.”
