46 comments and not one has called out the fundamental issue: when you run software you have essentially giving the author access to your machine as you. The problem is that every piece of software has way too much power, way more than they need. Apple with iOS has done a pretty good job (AFAICT) locking down what an App can do and there's _some_ of that on macOS. I don't know what Windows is doing. And of course, even it were perfect we'll still have vulnerable platforms for decades, but at least IT dept. can curb them.
