Is Chrome OS sufficiently unique enough from Linux to be its own category (genuinely asking)? I was aware of it when I made the original comment, but considered it more a subset of Linux, in that most major kernel security bugs would be shared.
Also, what are you considering similar to iMessage? My view is that iMessage presents its own unique & powerful attack surface that hangouts/etc dont have. Maybe RCS?
- toast0 6y agoI think Chrome OS at least has a unique libc and GUI stack versus normal desktop Linux distributions? And there's certainly room for errors in their updater stack and all that. gChat, Allo, Duo, SMS (whatever it's called today), Hangouts, Meet, ??? They're all relatively similar, send messages including media (remember stagefright)

They're all relatively similar, send messages including media (remember stagefright) Most of those have a much more limited attack surface than iMessage, at least in my understanding. SMS is shared and doesn't try to do what iMessage does, thus the issues
