Ever seen an 'Anti Virus' for Linux? Don't believe there is such a thing, if so, I suspect that they are not in business for long.
Linux is as vulnerable to vulnerabilities as other operating systems. Most of its use is as a server so they deal with them differently than MS does and its billions of unwashed masses using it.
You know all those hacked websites that disclose millions of people's credit cards and stuff you read about all the time. Most of those run on Linux and suffered from some sort of malware attack.
Go look up the recent "log4j" vulnerability. That is mostly a Linux thing. Linux malware probably costs the world/industry/society a heck of a lot more than Windows malware does because if Joe Blow's windows machine gets hacked, his loss is his loss. If a big ecommerce system gets hacked, millions of dollars in losses could be incurred.
Go look at cve.mitre.org / www.cve.org . This tracks vulnerabilities.
