I've said this a lot of times, and I say it again: the security vulnerabilities are less about the device you are using and more about how you are using it. You can't be fooling around on the internet, downloading all sorts of things, interacting with literally anything you see on the device where you have your financial apps, and then expect not to have security issues. You should ask yourself the question: Have you been trying to stay secure and keep your device secure from unwanted access and exploitation? You should get your answer if you are honest with yourself.

It won't be wrong to say that those who become victims of hacks and exploitation or even phishing scams, they are the only ones to be blamed at first, and then the other things should be looked at, because I believe that if you are mentally aware of everything, and smart enough to act in a way that would never cause threats to your financial holdings or assets, you will never face any issues.

I have been in this industry for so many years, and believe me, in all those years, I have never been a victim of any of these things, and that is because I'm always careful about what I do.
I completely agree with you on everything your opinion touched upon, and I share with you almost the same experience since I have not encountered any security problems on any of my devices since I started my experience with Bitcoin in 2014, due to my constant cautious use of various online applications and layers of protection for my accounts and personal files on all my devices (I know well how to handle things with caution, and sometimes excessively cautious).
My only one note is that it may not be my sole responsibility in some types of hacks since as a user, I often don't have enough expertise in the methods of using online apps and the manufacturing of devices and software. Therefore, I will find myself forced to rely on the manufacturers of the devices and the software installed on them after their confirmation by the manufacturer. We know how many got stolen their savings because hackers found a loophole in the device operating system or in one of the verified app in the official store.
You both did not understand what this thread is all about. We all know that people should be very careful about their online devices like phones, tablets and computers but this thread is even beyond that. This thread is about even people that are careful with their online devices still being vulnerable to a malware that is the fault of Apple and not the users.
