Well Linux is also inherently safer, if you follow standard advice and use it with a user (not root) account for daily business. This way, any malware, spyware, viruses etc. that ARE downloaded, have no access to the important system files etc.
As for being breached, as stated, that's usually more to do with the applications that run on it, not the Linux kernel.
