huh?? that doesnt make sense how does IQ apply
IQ only measure general intelligence so it cant really be applied(oh and by the way i rate 156 on the mensa test). hacking is very specific intelligence so general intelligence by no means guarantees success. and im afraid i have to agree with loverlock on this one.....windows is on more desktops.without a doubt and its the choice for fraud for that reason, also because due to its large user base there are more users who dont have a clue about security. and thus make easier targets.Linux is almost exclusively used by techies(i being myself a linux user infact i use linux, and windows and i also have a mac),who are by nature way more security conscious.
the amount of vunerabilities doesnt really matter.all operating systems have them.its what the companies do about them thats important. it wouldnt matter how careful microsoft were there's so many hackers working on windows that its only a matter of time until they find some hole. cause nothing is ever perfect.its possible to write a virus for anything if you have the time and dedication to do it.
