You are 192 times more at risk to get hacked if you have THIS phone.

When investigated the number of times people were interested in hacking different phone brands, the results show a whopping difference between the brand in first place and the other brands.  In fact, the results show the following:

In second place are Samsung owners, with 3,100 Americans monthly searching how to hack into their phones. LG is third with 670 searches/month, while Sony, Nokia and Huawei were the phones hackers are least interested in, with under 500 searches/month each
