Friends Kingdom

I use Windows, Android, iOS and Linux.

I expect Apple to continue to back me up when I brag about how much safer I am on their products and they mostly have.

But when Apple reacts slow they give fuel to fools who says its just as risky to Windows so I love to be able to shoot back with "fixed by this update". I give my Windows friends plenty of grief for how many malwares, spyware, ransomware, viruses, root kits and search redirectors and much more can get through Windows 8.1 I clean up for others. 28 years is a long time to get Windows right. The Mac has a better track record. Even Android has a better track record than Windows with less years to get it right.

Hopefully Apple will patch quick and remind us why they are security
superheroes while Windows still is vulnerable to Crypto and ICE and a
few dozen ransom wares that have been out for over a year.

Patch?

First you create a password for a site, banking perhaps, or Target, or some such, that gets hacked through *their* system vulnerabilities.

Then, against ALL advice to the contrary, you re-use that same password on iCloud.

The hacker tries the thousands of passwords he got from his hack, together with the attached name, on iCloud.

He finds a few that match, locks those people's devices, and demands ransom.

It isn't clear to me how Apple fixes the users stupidity.
