    Window computers are attack a lot more because Windows it is on like 95% of the computers around the world, making them more profitable to attackers. I will agree that Windows makes it easy for attackers but lets switch it up. Lets say Macintosh was run on most of the computers around the world vs Windows only having say 10%. Who do you think hackers would go after, Windows or Macintosh?
    Popularity is one factor, but it's not the only factor. Windows is genuinely much easier to attack remotely than IOS or android or any other desktop OS.

    I was reading here and misread the meaning of MITM, which refers to theft of the PW in transit upon entering it, rather than stealing the generated password from the token/app itself.
