Unlike Android, iPhone users are totally safe from mobile malware
[Via Cult of Mac]
For years Macs have had the reputation of being less susceptible to malware than PCs. According to a new report, that also holds true when it comes to iPhones.
Research by Finnish security firm F-Secure looked at reports of mobile malware detected in the first quarter of 2014. Of the 277 new threats detected, they found that 275 were aimed at the Android platform — while only one targeted iPhones. (The other was for Nokia’s defunct Symbian software.)

The one targeted for iPhones only works on jail-broken ones. So the score is 275 for Android and 0 for original iPhones.
