Basically, the only really dodgy thing is the Red Hat Linux Server hack- which was rapidly fixed. There are still no really bad, new, viruses out there. ALL the FUD about viruses and hackers, phishing and trojans is based on old viruses, which, if people could be bothered, would all be fixed and blocked and their spread eliminated.
The solution is in the hands of big self-perpetuating monoliths like Microsoft and the vast uneducated masses with little or no computer skills and a minuscule amount of common sense.
So same old, same again then, eh?
