“Prove me wrong.”
No. That’s the point. The burden of proof isn’t on anyone to disprove your untestable theory about market penetration (although in the case of JS vulnerabilities your premise is completely baseless anyway).
That’s like saying “you can’t get cancer from smoking if you immediately drink a herbal tea after every cigarette because of it’s mystical healing properties. Prove me wrong.”
- anonymous_sorry 4y agoI don't think it's untestable. All you need is a counterexample or two to prove it incorrect. Unless your proposition is that there are groups exploiting minority unsupported OSes but that they all remain successfully undiscovered, like Russell's teapot[0]. But as others point out, there actually is at least one known counterexample - WannaCry/EternalBlue.

- sph 4y agoI'm not the one making the claim here. The claim is other people saying "don't use an old OS/mitigations turned off because of drive-by malware." I am the one asking for proof of this. I know the vulnerability is real, but is there malware on the web, right now, that I might chance upon and risk my data?
