A direct quote from that article:

"Ubuntu and Fedora received the highest scores overall, reflecting
their tendency to be among the first responders for many issues"

The results in the table in the article were:

Score  Distro
76   Ubuntu
70   Fedora Core 	
63   Red Hat Enterprise Linux
61   Debian GNU/Linux 	 	
54   Mandriva Linux (Mandrake) 	 	
39   Gentoo Linux 		
32   Trustix Secure Linux 	
32   SUSE Linux Enterprise 		
30   Slackware Linux

So overall, based on the criteria in that very specific study,  Ubuntu
seems to lead the pack of linux distros for security, thus the Fridge
article with that title "top for security".
