Many (many!) years ago, when we had running SunOS systems, there were stories
about attacks on Solaris.  It seems that, at that time, Solaris was the most popular
system for running web servers. (Windows NT might have been second.)

Maybe some Solaris web servers are still running.

In any case, I suspect that there aren't many attacking VAX.
