            Even though I think Qualcomm is one of the best Chipset makers. I'm kinda glad myself I chose Exynos. I'm safe from that QuadRooter virus.

                That is why my personal phone is blackberry OS.
                Better security.

                          If you're going to download any app without caution, then you pretty much deserve getting your phone hacked and information stolen from you. This will happen to any OS, if the user is not careful.
