Both statements are equally true. :-)
But, on the bright side, the Bad Guys have had less time to find and
exploit the newer bugs, so your risk of attack is maybe a little lower...
Your risk of falling prey to an actual bug in the behaviour of the
software, without intentional human abuse, is higher with new software.
A balance of risks.
