Virus Bulletin: "The single biggest security issue facing Linux users at the moment is the misconception perpetuated by highly vocal advocates that Linux is somehow impenetrable to security-based attacks, and in particular, viruses and other malware." [The Scobleizer Weblog]

Good point. Just because there is little publicity on a particular platform doesn't mean vulnerabilities don't exist. I am glad the proper term was used here: "issue". If "risk" had been used it would have implied there was a way measure the issue. You just don't know what you don't know.
