All true. At the same time it will undeniably increase opportunities for criminal actors.
For a technical user, usually not a problem (like it is currently the case on Android). For an ordinary user caught in the hype of the day, not so much.
- bena 4y agoI would argue it's a problem for a technical user as well. It's just a problem. Defenders have to win every time. Attackers only have to win once. That gives the attackers the advantage. And it may not even directly be your fault. All you need is a flaw in any communications system that allows privilege escalation and code execution. Then you can be compromised by someone who just happens to be in the same room. Now while this is true even now. It's even worse when every user can download and install whatever sketchware promises to mine dogecoins while the phone is idle for guaranteed returns of 100%. Because every other phone becomes a potential attack vector.
