As a practical matter, doesn't this mean if I'm confident in my ability to avoid phishing messages, iOS is better?
Anything that "roots" a phone can also run roughshod, turn on my mic, grab signal messages stored locally, etc, correct?
What I'm getting at is a phone in a walled garden + a laptop that's open source might be the best way to get the security of the walled garden and the utility of open source.
- stefan_ 6y agoI'd argue it is the opposite. The people that want to grab your Signal or WhatsApp messages can often do so by simply sending your some picture or specially crafted message; it's only the people that want to run their own software that need to break all the kernel defenses and 'root' the device.
- fomine3 6y ago"confident in my ability to avoid phishing messages" is not a good way for security.
- dontbenebby 6y agoI literally designed antiphishing trainings. I also have Firefox containers for important things like banking - a phishing url from my email will not open in the correct container. Huge red flag.
