Hey, There are others security pen testers already approve this, you guys Android and I"BS" fanboys just cant accept the truth. BB10 have very few vulnerabilites over years, Windows 8 especially mobile now Windows 10 improve significantly. Just get outta here and accept it.
IOS and Mac OS X will be very busy this year =)))

On windows phone every app has its own isolated storage,and every app runs separated from other apps.There is no way an app can even replicate itself in windows phone. There are rules that a windows phone app must follow.as an example a windows phone app cannot access phones camera or mic while running in background(background task) while in android they can.Windows phone is immune from viruses.
p.s. Im a windows phone developer.

AnonD-354890, 12 Jun 2015Dear Friends, I think according me Eugene the Kaspersky ... moreKaspersky is available (and mostly free) on Android too. I don't think he just defended it to make profit, saying Windows is less vulnerable means his company's services are less needed on Windows.

Dear Friends,
I think according me Eugene the Kaspersky CEO is making fool to everyone and may be he post his comment for his marketing, else you think yourself that I am using android from last 5 years and I found that it is the extremely excellent and trustable OS in the world by according users reviews and Eugene the Kaspersky CEO who influent the peoples from his post, So that peoples moving towards Window phones, because as you know the Desktop and Laptop windows are always crashing and corrupting as everybody know's that, So how can Kaspersky CEO said that window phone is less vulnerable, I totally disagree and ignore his comment and post, because Android is handle Google who is best in his class in security. So according me go ahead with android OS there is no problem.
Thanks.

A futile marketing ploy by Kaspersky... Almost all people know that
Android & iOS = No Virus = No need for kaspersky = no income from kaspersky
So they're trying to convince people to windows phone and purchase their product. lol!!!!!!!
The only way you'll be exploited on android is if you download apks from sources outside playstore and that could easily be fixed by just uninstalling the apk. While on windows phone once a virus replicates itself then you're screwed.

X2, 11 Jun 2015WP is a cheap OS why i bother to buy a primitive OS.
IOS a... moreNo device no matter how much security you put on it will ever be 100% unhackable, hackers within reason will always look for a weak spot, just so long as there is a positive outcome for them which is usually money.
The simple answer with IOS and Android is popularity, if everyone didn't like them then they wouldn't use them and hackers wouldn't bother hacking into them, because what's the point in trying to hack something if it's not popular?
IOS and Android have bigger market share and have been out longer, criminals have had more knowledge of their code base.
Android has been and always will be a bigger target because you aren't limited and people like that! you can go onto any site and download something and it could have Malware or a Virus.

The guy should seriously consider to have his name changed to Captain Eugene Obvious.
Seriously though, it's no closed secret that major OS like iOS and Android are one of the most vulnerable out there. Here is some statistics for the mobile operating system market that have been posted for the US alone:
Android: 52%
iOS: 35%
Blackberry: 7%
Windows: 2%
Others: 5%
Based on the numbers, Windows Phone alone have less than 1/5 of the user market and that's within the US where their user base are that most concentrated along with few other Western regions compared to iOS and Android which pretty much dominates the market globally.
If anything, Windows Phone are as niche as those proprietary obscure operating systems. Barely anyone would own one, much less take their time or resources to brew up some major exploit.

IOS all the way and more secure.
I believer if you have Galaxy S unrooted and has Knox, your phone will 100% unhackable
