Debian is the most vulnerable operating system in the last 20 years

According to TheBestVPN the Debian operating system was the most vulnerable to the past decades that have passed us by. And for 2019, Debian was in second place.

Many believe that Windows is the most vulnerable operating system, which causes users to panic when they hear a new intrusion or security hole. Not to mention him mess with Windows 7 because Microsoft stopped supporting them. But is that the case? Apparently not, according to a new statistical survey, which first brings Debian into trouble.

According to an analysis that published by TheBestVPN based on the information received from National Institute of Standards and Technology's National Vulnerability Database (National Database of the National Institute of Standards and Technology) USA, the Debian operating system had the most technical vulnerabilities, making it the most vulnerable product for the last 20 years.

Between 1999 and 2019, researchers discovered a total of 3.067 security vulnerabilities in Debian, bringing it to first place, while the first version of Windows, namely Windows Server 2008, came in ninth place with far fewer technical vulnerabilities (1.421).

In the same directory, Android and the linux kernel are in second and third place respectively, with 2.563 and 2.357 security vulnerabilities, while macOS is fourth with 2.212.

And for those who will say “20 years! last year's sour grapes ", let's see the list that is mentioned only for the past year, ie only for 2019. There Android is the number one with 414 vulnerabilities, followed by Debian, Windows Server 2106 and Windows 10, with 360, 357 and 357 security issues respectively.

Στην ίδια μελέτη γίνεται διαχωρισμός μεταξύ “τεχνικών ευπαθειών” (δηλαδή γνωστά κενά ασφαλείας) και ευπαθειών (δηλαδή επιθέσεων). Εκεί τα νούμερα αλλάζουν και φέρνουν την Micorosoft στην πρώτη θέση στις επιθέσεις και τα Debian στην όγδοη σε σύνολο όλων των γνωστών προγραμμάτων και λειτουργικών. Σύμφωνα με τους συντάκτες της ς: “Η Microsoft είναι μία από τις πιο επιτυχημένες εταιρείες στον κόσμο, αλλά τα προϊόντα της παραμένουν επιρρεπή σε επιθέσεις. Υπήρχαν 668 αναφερόμενες επιθέσεις το 2019. Από το 2009, η Microsoft είχε 6.814 επιθέσεις, καθιστώντας την πιο ευάλωτη σε αυτά τα 20 χρόνια. Τις πρώτες πέντε θέσεις κατέχουν η Oracle (6,115), η IBM (4,679), η (4,572) and Apple (4,512)”.

However, Linux is expected to grow and gain, along with customers and reputation, an even higher rate of attacks. In fact, as most security vulnerabilities have been shown so far, the situation can be diverted.
