>you'd be surprised by how few people actually "target" Windows devices

What do you mean by this? As a percentage of malware it's not even close, Windows is far and away the most targeted platform: https://www.pcmag.com/news/windows-computers-account-for-83-...



Wow. I would have expected Android to be so much higher. For all the poorest people in the world who never owned a computer and have Internet access through an Android device, this is a great statistic.


Phones are much more secure than desktops.


It's also far and away the most used platform, so it should surprise nobody that it's the most targeted.



I'm not surprised, I'm just curious what you meant by saying I'd be surprised at how few people target it.
