Well, last years exploits against iOS, Android and Ubuntu where all related to media metadata processing. It is only natural that the same folks screw up this one too.
- oblio 9y agoWhat same folks? iOS, Android and Ubuntu are not developed by the same people. More than that, it's not like these apps are actually developed by Apple, Google or Canonical. Plus you're dissing some very complex projects. I think you're underestimating the complexity of the work these "same folks" are doing.
