Hackers don't target those because they're next to impossible to crack. UNIX's security is embedded in it's OS, not put on top of it.

Windows' security is like a guy with a baseball bat. He's protected, but you've got to buy the bat, and you can't ever put the bat down. UNIX is like a master karate instructor, his security is embedded in himself and doesn't need anything from the user.
