Zone-H Defacement Data Shows Platforms Don't Matter

George Ou writes on the ZDNet "Zero Day" Blog:

Web defacement archive Zone-H.org has produced a comprehensive three-year report on Web Server defacements for 2005 to 2007. What makes the Zone-H archive unique is that the data is gathered from the hackers/defacers themselves and every defaced website is confirmed and mirrored on Zone-H permanently.

Contrary to popular perception, Linux/Apache websites gets broken in to far more often than Windows/IIS websites. Given the fact that Windows/IIS and Linux/Apache market share is comparable in recent years, the comparison is a valid one.
