Also note that it is only talking about 'socially engineered malware' - that means sites that try to trick you (the user) into providing information for bogus reasons - the test does not measure exploits (attack vectors that use weaknesses in the software itself).

I Agree just make sure linux { fedora in my case } is up to date
