An independent study by British cyber security firm, mi2g, has found Apple's OS X Server and the Berkely Software Distribution (BSD) open source systems on which it is based, to be the most secure online server operating systems in the world, according to a recent report published at www.maccentral.com.

In what may come as a surprise to many, the study also found that open source operating system, Linux, is now the "most-breached" server operating system and that Microsoft's server solution had improved substantially.

The study, which was conducted by mi2g's Intelligence Unit, was based on the number of successful attacks against UK government and private server systems in January this year. Together, OS X Server and BSD represented only 3%, Windows 12%, while Linux was most prone to attack at 80%.
