Correct. Because Linux is not used to do any of the important work, only as server or routing functions. All important applications and data and the mission-critical information resides on Windows machines.

This is purely Linux's fault. Linux still refuses to add support to run the Excel macros which are responsible for processing almost all of today's enterprise data.
The problem with Linux is that anybody with money can easily infiltrate the developer network and there isn't enough money in open source to actually audit massive amounts of code enough, which was kind of part of the promise of it's benefit.
SURE, the code is there to look at, but as your develop an OS that's millions of lines of code interacting with each other the ONLY way to keep it secure is to constantly audit the code and there isn't even enough money in the private sector to get that done.

Yeah I love open source but the millions of eyes thing is a little wishful. I've been coding for 40 years but I sure as shit don't bother looking at the source code of systems I use unless I want to fix or modify it, which is extremely EXTREMELY rare.
Of course looking at the source code won't help shit if the build system has been hacked.

So... resuming: the supposed danger does basically nothing in Linux and the REAL issue is that they use it to attack Windows and iOS attached to it...
WOW!
