But, again, the presentation is titled ("eBay phishers use Linux
botnets")-- and framed ("Phishers are getting more organized and tend
to exploit hacked Linux boxes more than Windows, according to eBay's
security chief.") as though the Linux boxen WERE some sort of
sooper-seekrit botnet in-and-of themselves.

Deliberate lies and distortion are being used to obscure the truth--
which is the very DEFINITION of FUD.
