First rule of computing - Don't use the same stuff everyone else is using. You're far less likely to be targeted. Rule number 2 - Use something open source, where the code is scrutinized continuously

Open source isn’t as secure as people think. The assumption is that people examining the code for flaws to fix outnumber the people looking for flaws to exploit. The best example of this are exploits found in Linux that remained hidden for many years before being discovered.
