There's not enough reward for most people, no. That's not to say that
it can't be done or that somebody won't have the right combination of
skills and low self-esteem needed to do something like this just for
bragging rights, but the odds are much lower than they are in the
Windows world where the probable payoff is also much higher.
I've always thought that things were a little different here in
"Linux-Land"....I mean....if someone comes up and brags about stealing
something that was free to begin with....then what's to brag
about?.....what's so impressive about that? But to have not only gotten
past a well designed security system, but to have ALSO made off with the
crown jewels....well now THAT'S impressive! Comparatively......to hack
into a Linux system that resides on some old geezer's home network (that
would be ME!...LoL!) I don't think would make anyone do a double
take....but to hack into the back end of say......Tiffany's.com...and
make off with customer's credit card numbers...well...now THAT would be
something to impress with....(depending on your moral makeup!)
