Malware Loves Android, but iOS Users Could Be at Risk Too
“While malicious applications on the iOS platform are limited in large part due to Apple’s closed application marketplace and stringent screening model, it does not necessarily make it fundamentally more secure,” Juniper said in its report released on Tuesday. “For one, when a user ‘jailbreaks’ their device by removing the limitations on the operating system, the device can be susceptible to malicious applications downloaded from third-party sources.”
Let me try to rephrase that - Malicious iOS applications, which are difficult to get past Apple’s screening model, which there have been few to no reports about, certainly seem to be quite limited on the iOS platform, yet that doesn’t make the platform any more secure, because a user could hack their device and then expose themselves to malicious apps.
Really?
Wow. There’s just no way to make bullshit sound any better.
