[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 85911, post: 861365"] literally millions of Android phones are compromised per month the users include doctors, engineers, scientists even the presidents and prime ministers of nations with extensive dedicated IT staff is someone going to call these people stupid and put the blame on them for the insecure Android platform ? society is not going to solve the security problem by educating citizens about security and you cannot expect people to make digital security one of their top priorities daily there are countless posts of this or that compromise Android Google has done clean-up in its store countless times with no net effect there is no end in sight Tavis Ormandy has a rather dim opinion of Android and he even works for Google even he says the Android security is broken so given all that evidence no one with any sense of understanding or credibility can argue for Android only a smug security forum member or one with hurt feelings or some agenda would say otherwise [/QUOTE]
