It can often be more important to inform apple users of attacks and exploits because android users aren't often under the illusion that they're immune from such happenings.

Yeah I feel like safe browsing practices and digital hygiene should be taught in middle schools. That's the age I was taught things about computers in the early 2000s, like how to use a word processor, do research, save to floppy disks, not visit shady websites, and don't click on ads. People just assume all that malware has been scrubbed from the Internet by now, but it has not.
