Defacing web-pages often has little to do with Linux or the web server. I think typically it is due to sloppy/ignorant development or admin practices that lead to sql injection and the like. In most these cases, the integrity of the rest of the system remains in tact and the only thing impacted is the site itself and it’s resources.
Of course, that isn’t always the case because sometimes it can lead to privilege escalation but most of the time their attempts are thwarted before they get a chance to do much more than corrupt www data
