This is not true, to my knowledge.

Where did you get the data for such statement? Or are you just repeating the statements Jobs made to deflect attention from the glaring shortcomings of the iPad?

On the Mac side, the biggest infection vector is QuickTime. See, for example The Top Cyber Security Risks.

Java can also often be a greater security threat than Flash.

And it doesn't help that Apple is generally lax and slow at patching security issues at the OS level (see, for example, Mac OS X Java fiasco: Apple still doesn't get security).
