RE: I remember how all the Apple owners used to sneer about how they didn’t get viruses or malware.

The more prevalent and popular an OS is or becomes, the more susceptible the OS is to hackers.

Just exactly how prevalent and popular must an OS be to become susceptible to hackers? iOS topped ONE BILLION USERS and this is NOT AN EXPLOIT. . . it is FUD that requires some very unlikely events including jailbreaking your phone to even start the process of compromising your data. . . then you have to download a malicious trojan app from a third party App Store, that is NOT Apple's App Store. So, exactly how many is enough for a SERIOUS hack? This just ain't it. This is laughable.

In other words,

YOU HAVE TO BE LITERALLY STUPID to be compromised.
