Comment on Online Ads Can Infect Your Device with Spyware

And you're trusting everything an article says about a virus that says there's no solution?

What's top stop a black hat buying this to steal identities?
What's to stop one of the coders from leaking it? Or a black hat leaking it?
What about someone targeting an incorrect target and by doing so it ends up in the hands of someone more nefarious?

Hackers and black markets do what they want.
Can't afford it? Steal it.

Actually I hope it gets leaked because that would mean it will gets fixed.

Also im pretty against state Trojans and such, but as long as it makes money.

There is no solution, because nobody except the ones who made it know how it works and its not public.
