If it is, it just reinforces that you cannot rely on anything for
security, because there is no such thing as a secure system, as long as
us filthy useless humans write code. Nobody in the linux community ever
made such promises any way.

Just keep updated, install and run clamav every so often, maybe install
and configure tripwire/aide, do not download dodgy stuff, follow and
click random dodgy links. Same applies to any other operating system really.

Compared to many other systems, GNU operating systems can still have
issues, but far less, and if they do the issue is fixed much quicker.

Not much else to say really apart from Keep Calm and carry on!


Regards,

Tristan
