Windows? NO, Linux and Mac OS X Most Vulnerable Operating System In 2014
Apple’s operating system is considered to be the most secure operating system whether it’s Mac OS X for desktop computers or iOS for iPhones. But believe it or not, they are the most vulnerable operating system of year 2014.
http://thehackernews.com/2015/02/vulnerable-operating-system.htmlBefore anyone gets too excited, the claims - by GFi and reported on several tech sites - look a bit iffy:
If you check the data, it becomes obvious that things don't add up. Just a check of all security bulletins released by Microsoft in 2014 alone shows a higher number than what is reported in the chart for the operating system.

In the real world, the number of vulnerabilities and the number of successful attacks aren't the same, later versions of Windows are more secure than earlier versions but malware is still mainly a problem for Windows users (if only because some 90+% of PCs run on Windows).
