Bit desperate - it was up for 5 minutes so it's a desperate threat out in the wild to get everybody
- FUD, FUD, FUD.
Try looking at latest reports from US feds where they report 79% of threats are for Android, 19% Symbian and other platforms including iOS, Windows etc all less than 1% eacc... still, it was out for 5mins so represents a deadly threat - my point was the exposure was hardly in the wild as it was so brief but obviously that's really major, never mind reality...
Oh yes, it's also a shame that you can't read a whole comment so ignored my last paragraph, "You're trying to equate Apples (no pun intended) with oranges - proof of concept doesn't equal actual attacks and the fact that each time a problem is found, it makes headline news but other OSs get dumped on so much that reports are treated as a matter of course, tends to support the view that some OSs are safer than others -
please note that I said "safer not immune..."
