“Microsoft’s efforts to produce an extremely developer-friendly platform will be embraced by the cyber criminal community, and vulnerabilities will be exploited. If they deliver on their promise, the rate of threat growth on Microsoft mobile devices will be the highest”, the report reads.

While I really hope that it’s just a threat from the cyber criminal community; it really is just a matter of time before the hacking begins. With claims of having the most secure OS Windows 8 is setting itself up for people’s competitive sides to want to expose the weaknesses. I just hope for everyone’s sake that Microsoft can stay at least 10 steps ahead of the game.
