There are some people won't touch anything to do with open source projects as they feel it might have issues with security. What does open source actually do for security or change how it works?

Nothing, really. Anything you got from the play store is just as capable as a foss file is. The only changes between open source and closed source are that open source runs the risk of virus clones being created, at the benefit of a person being able to review the code to check for viri.

I might be wrong though idk

@Zink Yeah I would guess some people might pass up a software as 'safe' and then it not to be and just ripped the code from an Open Source project.
