I don't know if that is the right lesson. It's kind of like "don't click on links"... Err, no. You should be able to click any link without getting hacked.
Sure, in an ideal world different from this one. You should be able to do anything on any device and never worry about security.
Unfortunately, since we don't live in that world, we need to not open links, emails, text messages, etc, if they are sketchy.
A better solution may someday exist, but as of yet has not been found.
Wr aren't talking about clicking links even. This is a bug in some stupid code that tries to read your messages for you and act on them. No thank you!
