Android is more secure, especially in recent history. You can even see it in 0 day bounties.

Don't pay attention to Samsung though, that company is probably the Apple equivalent of android.



view as:

I don’t see how the bounties back this up?

Supply and demand.

The bounties look like they have fairly comparable distribution, and just knowing the dollar figures doesn't really tell much about either supply or demand. Your inference requires that knowledge.

>just knowing the dollar figures doesn't really tell much about either supply or demand.

Well we just broke econ


Neither is correlated to how secure something is?

Yes it is

Despite you feeling smug about it, the economics of the zero day market are far more complex than you think they are.

>Android is more secure, especially in recent history. You can even see it in 0 day bounties.

This needs citations, and more than just referencing 0-day bounties.

0-day bounties are an incredibly weak signal in regards to security posture.


Pricing, and for more than zero days here:

Pricing of 0-days has very little correlation with the security of something, if any correlation.

I'm not sure what the "and for more" you are referencing. The site lists prices, an FAQ, and events. None of that supports the argument made by parent comment.


The number of public bounties for a system seems orthogonal to the number of actual vulnerabilities in a system. Of course, vulnerabilities exist independent of the existence of a bounty for them.
