This is the title that I am in http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/6229

As discussed in the web that mention, has always been said that Linux and Unix systems are extremely safe. Sim, however, that as time passes these systems be gaining users, and these programs are increasingly using more complex and more "automatic / comfortable", causes the lack of knowledge, the routine use or lack of foresight to make our system as robust, at least internally, it becomes a drain. In the article that I have left are described 5 steps to create a type of software that is capable of spreading by almost any Linux and Unix with Gnome and / or KDE and cause damage that may be of much thought, just a little social engineering. This article could easily open multiple debates but particularly I think the more necessary would be to talk about the minimum training that anyone should have when using a computer, in the end all we have also learned to drive?

    2. Security is always up to the user, the OS support, but not definitive, but the article is interesting. It's actually quite clever enough to colarsela to many users. Anyway I think the man is alarmed too, there is no automatic cure against ignorance, a system can not try to be proof of ignorance, is absurd.

    3. It is clear that common sense is a key user. The policy of "accept without reading" is too widespread.
