The software we use is not safe at all. If we don't have an idea what goes on in an open source projects, how could we even begin to know what goes on in a proprietary binary, or a service? People's dealings operate on trust, that's how, and trust can and will be abused, simple as that.
Most of businesses use Linux for their servers mainly Ubuntu/Debian
Businesses should calculate with the risks, and also, use Long Term Support versions of software, not unstable bleeding edge fresh from the oven ones. Which they do. And so they were not vulnerable at all.
