Savvy people, the type of people you’re trying to protect yourself from, can and will use these for months without anyone knowing.

Just last year I believe it was… a true zero-day exploit was found in the Linux kernel. The scary thing is… it was there for a year and a half without anyone knowing. Now… Linux is WIDELY known for it’s awesome security. That’s why it is often times the OS of choice for enterprise servers. All of Wall Street is powered by Linux. So, clearly it’s good enough to protect trillions of dollars each day. Be that as it may, even Linux is not impervious to the dreaded security flaw.
