Sure we have. Microsoft says, "We are going to make Windows secure. This time we'll get it right. Really. We got it right, this time. Trust us. Cross our hearts and hope to die."

I remember when you Apple sycophants touted Apple's security and invulnerability to malware, spyware and hacking.....I don't hear that anymore.....I wonder why?

Could it be that due to iOSs success, that it became a target of hackers? But that excuse was "lame" when employed by Windows fans.

You got your success and you got the burrs that come with it.....something Windows has been dealing with for decades.

Eat your crow and shut up. ;)

Did you miss the admission last week from The Hacker Company that they did NOT have any products that could hack into unjailbroken iOS devices? I guess you did. There are still no malware in the wild for unjailbroken iOS devices. . .

There were several zero-day exploits for the Oh-So-Secure fully patched Windows 8.1 just last week that required emergency patches. There are still no remote exploits in the wild for OS X other than about 60 Trojans that the operating system will warn the user about if he or she attempts to download, install, or run them. Could there be tomorrow? Perhaps. We are now 17 years since the release of OS X server into the wild and we are still waiting for the first one. By the way, we never said that Apple was individually secure against "hacking", especially if you could get the user's cooperation. . . which is what it required, plus months of preparation, in every one of those contests where the Mac was the first system breeched.

We stated truthfully that the Mac it was the safest platform for users to use. . . It is still the safest and the iOS is still the safest mobile platform to use.
