    Well, I don't know how much more proof people want, operating systems based on UNIX aren't as secure as people think. Sure, Win 10 was hacked 5 times, but Ubuntu didn't do much better with 4 succesful hacks and iOS was hacked 3 times.

    And so much for Safari being more secure, it got hacked 2 times, same as Chrome. But anyway, eventhough this stuff is interesting, in real life hackers will also need to bypass mitigation tools in order to get malware up and running, especially on Windows. Too bad they don't showcase this.
