I agree. What I find interesting is that real world security is also a function of popularity. You won't get many outside hackers to attack a platform, if it's hardly used.
So any new platform would first need broad adoption, then a few years of maturity in able for the outside world to assess if it's more secure than current systems.
Obviously, security centric design helps a lot, but on the other hand Kaspersky is a relatively small player in comparison with the other OS-movements (whether capitalist or FOSS).
- bigato 10y agoPopularity is not exactly what attracts most hackers nowadays; it's profit. Yes, in the common case, the more popular the system, the more profit can be made by hacking it. But if a system is running on a few, but very strategic places, it will be an interesting target and thus attract a lot of effort.
