If it is, it just reinforces that you cannot rely on anything for<br>
security, because there is no such thing as a secure system, as long as<br>
us filthy useless humans write code. Nobody in the linux community ever<br>
made such promises any way.<br>
<br>
Just keep updated, install and run clamav every so often, maybe install<br>
and configure tripwire/aide, do not download dodgy stuff, follow and<br>
click random dodgy links. Same applies to any other operating system really.<br>
<br>
Compared to many other systems, GNU operating systems can still have<br>
issues, but far less, and if they do the issue is fixed much quicker.<br>
<br>
Not much else to say really apart from Keep Calm and carry on!<br>
<br>
