Well, when someone uses Android, he knows the risk, therefore.... I hope, however, that the Dalvik-"sandbox" prevents some of the potential big damages. However, I would not only be worried about what the CIA can do. There are also others...

ossi1967 ( 2017-03-09 09:24:45 +0300 )editWhy should Sailfish considered more secure than Android? The only "protection" is the small penetration of SailfishOS compared to Android/iOS/Win.
luchmhor ( 2017-03-09 10:54:04 +0300 )editWould you please use the search of Wikileaks or either open a concrete thread with a direct URL to relevant information. Hey! I heard about a leak! What's about Sailfish?

With android and iOS it is a matter of trust. Sailfish relies heavily on open sources instead. Not automatically less exploitable flaws but a better chance of patches.
Both the Russian and Chinese consortiums will help to improve security even further.
