Well, Paul, it seems you didn't actually read the entire
discussion.  If you had, you would have learned that:

a)  The hack exploited a CGI flaw, not a Linux flaw.
b)  The whole matter would have been moot had released
    patches been applied to the Linux machine.

You might want to go read this:

That said, the vast majority of sites (NT, Linux, or other),
would easily fall to the expertise of someone like "Jfs".
