Researchers believe the shift to Linux malware is due to improvements in Windows endpoint security. As a result, threat actors are exploring new attack avenues, increasingly focusing on exploiting flaws in internet-facing systems, most of which run on Linux.

I don‘t get the reasoning here… these servers ran Linux before so what has that to do with Windows endpoints?

Windows is harder, so less valuable to spend time on.

No, it’s because the article is using clickbait and the world’s infrastructure mostly runs on Linux, not windows servers.
