But it is not -just- market share. There are a lot more Windows Mobile compromises, viruses, etc., than iOS, Symbian, and RIM. I think combined. Yet Windows Mobile has the lowest market share of the four. So unless that is spill over because Windows Mobile & Windows Desktop have the same vulnerabilities, it shows that market share is only one piece of the puzzle.
All that said, the biggest problem is users. Social Engineering is a far bigger threat than anything in software. And I don't know how we stop that. Anyone have an idea?
Actually, it *is* market-share. That's the "low-hanging fruit" for criminals. And educating users? That bus left the station long ago. Let's not be distracted from the issue here -- ISPs. xSPs, and other similar providers have a responsibility here that should not shirk, or pass along. Police your own backyards. Before someone else forces you to do so. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFMDxwAq1pz9mNUZTMRAssSAJ9HDGFhEQ3X1mfV25FPoVLCpx7xDACg3/Hr UbkgB/Mb+J0/Z7YRBO9OPL8= =E0MH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
