| Soleron said: The main way to reduce botnets in general is diversity of software. No software is invulnerable to security holes, so when one surfaces it is bad to have 90%+ of computers vulnerable simultaneously. So I think one of the most effective measures we could take is to end the single-company domination of the PC market and have a wide range of OSs, server software, and hardware architectures availible. I'm not specifically saying MS is worse; a >90% Mac OS X market would be just as vulnerable. |
Doesn't always help... apparently bot herders are moving up using vulnerabilities in trusted aplications which means no matter the OS, the computer will be infected. PHP exploits, that kind of stuff.
