When Russia arrests a hacker they're turned over to the GRU and told who to target. Western governments use hacking for intelligence gathering not economic warfare. The ochko123 fraudster was very connected with the Russian government, it's state policy.

No, just using Linux doesn't make you safe.

How much intelligence Stuxnet has gathered?

Military targets are not economic targets.
Military is still a part of the government.
I re-watched the Roman/ochko123 talk just a few days ago, really great talk
