I haven't read the article, but WIN XP is hovering at the top of reported annual vulnerabilities for Windows based platforms. It's also estimated that hackers are going to have a field day when MS stops security updates/patches after April for those die hard users.
Among applications for 2013, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox were among the two most targeted apps for malware, requiring the most patches for vulnerabilities. With newer OS getting harder to breach, hackers are focusing on browsers and plugins, not to mention outdated OS.
