That might also be a bias because very few companies or organizations use things like open office (or the google suite for that matter) so there would be fewer people interested in attacking those software suites.

- judge2020 6y agoGrowth for Google Workspace (previously G Suite) and Office 365 is insane. Office 365 has >258 million paid seats[0], while Google claims they have 2 billion paid seats (or "users")[1].

- jedberg 6y agoGoogle claims 2 billion users across all their cloud services, not paid seats. For example, if you have a hangout and invite 20 people, that's 20 users. You don't have to be logged in to use a hangout link, so if you join another hangout later, and still aren't logged in, you're a new user.
