TBF, some of it is structural: if you're the most popular anything on the internet, you'll be the most attacked and the most exploited, and hence the most exploitable.

How many times has Google been hacked? It's not zero, but just because something is popular doesn't mean it has to get exploited. Repeatedly.

That's not really true.

Edit: wow that's a lot of downvotes! I'm surprised people can't identify a trivial reasoning failure.

  • You could've included a little more nuance. An interpretation of your response is "being the most popular remotely accessible software" != "the most attacked", which would need defending.
