- caf 7y agoEven better if you ran the DEC Alpha build of NT 3.51. Security through obsolescence!
- lhoff 7y agoWorks well for me. If i get suspicious Mail or something similar i use my old BlackBerry Z10 to open it first. Afaik there has never been a know Malware for the device. The whole system itself was pretty security oriented from the beginning. Sure it uses webkit for the browser but a browser exploit is usually just the first entry. Even if the Malware gets root i suspect it won't be able to run anything useful on the QNX Kernel.
- jdsnape 7y agoAh, but now you’ve posted that publicly anyone who wants to target you knows what to do! :)
- Crinus 7y agoSort of. Since it works by having a proxy do the heavy lifting and the proxy is most likely running a modern web engine, then it would be as secure as that proxy and engine are. No site will be able to access the NT 3.51 machine though.
