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.

Dude who the fuck looks at the code, you simply compare it to an earlier safe version and check all the code that changed, not the rest of it. You do not reinvent the wheel over and over again.
What Kaspersky wants to do is work on the offensive side of defence. You can not have a good defence without a good offence. That means designing honey pot specfic software that runs attackable virtual machines on a network to draw in attacks and once at attack is registered, depending upon type, the authorities can immediately be informed, for counter attack in terms of legal prosecutions. Keep in mind it is a honey pot, it should have lots of data files (made up ones), not the same data across all honey pots, made up employee details with accounts and made up customers et al, keep them hooked whilst the return path is tracked.

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!
