There is something unfair in this survey,
When I say that 76% of attacked servers are Linux OS, this is unfair
because, I should count how much percent (of all Linux OS) are attacked.

I'll give you an example:
Let say that there are 9 Linux-Based servers and 1 Windows-Based server in
one room, and 3 of the Linux got attacked and the Windows got attacked as
well, we have 2 interesting results:
- 75% of attacked servers were Linux ???? totally unfair!
- 30% of Linux servers were attacked and 100% of Windows servers were
attacked. Make more sense.

The same for software (Apache, MySQL, ...etc)

Server-wise, Linux and Open-Source software are dominating so obviously when
they take a survey asking you something like:
Were you attacked before, and you respond by "Yes"; then there is a great
possibility that you respond by "Linux" when he asks about your OS in the
next question! Is that way how they legalize their surveys?!
