Hackers always go after low hanging fruit first
We are told this time and time again. So, using
Apple cultist logic, the easiest mobile
phone to hack is the iPhone and the easiest
browser to hack is Safari. Makes me glad I don't
use either of those security sieves.
Yet again you obviously miss the point and make outrageous claims.
Hackers go after the money.
Pwn2Own contestants are not hackers, they are the people who work
to stop hackers.
A bit like the difference between an Anti-Terrorism consultant and a
terrorist.
Terrorists blow people up, they go after those they wish to blow up,
and target those they can blow up easiest.
Anti-Terrorism consultants get paid big money to find ways to stop
the hard to reach targets from being hit.
So if this was a terrorism related competition, the big prize would be
to hit the target with the best security.
And this outcome would not validate any statements about the targets
of suicide bombers.
You are either a fool, or have an agenda in these statements, which is
it?
And your clever security threat assessment is clearly borne out by the
number of infected PCs, and the lack of infected Macs, isn't it?
