Experts: Windows Phone is the most secure mobile system

Although Microsoft's Windows Phone system still has a big gap with iOS and Android in terms of sales and application volume, the system has at least one thing to be proud of - security.

When someone asked Steve Lord, a hacker and security expert with 15 years of experience, to choose the most secure system from iOS, Android, and WP, ​​he replied that WP was the "toughest nut to crack" among them: "All three have advantages and disadvantages. At present, WP should be the 'toughest nut to crack'. BlackBerry has been paying great attention to security for a long time. If I choose to break into a device physically, Android is definitely the easiest, followed by iPhone and old versions of BlackBerry systems. If it is through the network or through emails and text messages, Android is also the most vulnerable target."

Regarding Windows 10 Mobile, of course, Microsoft believes that this is its most secure product. But Steve Lord praised the security of the old version of WP system. He said: "Old smartphones are generally not very secure because they are very vulnerable to known vulnerabilities. If you are using an outdated phone, it is best to use a non-smartphone. If you must use an outdated smartphone, it is best to use an old BlackBerry or a WP phone running WP8 or later."

In fact, just like OS X users have always said that Apple's system is more secure, this may have to take into account the market share of the system. If the market share is very low, then hackers will not be very enthusiastic about finding vulnerabilities, because after all, the audience is small. The same reason may be true for WP.

But no matter what, it seems that WP is still the most secure mobile operating system, which is definitely good news for Microsoft, which is currently performing poorly in the mobile phone market.
