[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1030361, member: 57429"] Plenty of bugs/exploits in to go around. Bad code doesn't discriminate from what I know. Windows has gotten much better in the last 8 years since Windows 10. Personally, I do think Android/iOS are more secure than Windows. Because Apple & Google (lesser extent Samsung) can control the hardware stack to the software stack and with app stores can control what and when and how files are downloaded and updated. Whereas Windows concentrates on compatibility and lets any file from any source be used and abused. Good news however is that security has improved a lot since 2015 on all OS's. Forcing firmware/security updates without optout has been the driving factor, that and sandboxing browsers and applications. [/QUOTE]
