that?) there was no antivirus worth talking about and no concern about
security as such. The Shellshock exploit probably does two things. Firstly
it raises awareness of many admins as regards security of Linux systems and
it encourages hackers because they realise that there is now (and actually
always has been) a target in Linux systems. It may be Linux's "Code Red".
There are definitely more exploits out there.
Not all Linux admins are security aware, just as many are not backup aware.
Many think that Linux systems are secure by default. Many will "get around
to security" some time.
